Restrict the submission of Normal and Standard change requests with a past date.

sattimsetti — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 11:07:00 GMT

Hello Team,

We have requirement "Restrict the submission of Normal and Standard change requests with a past date"

I have created below script but it's not working. Please help me on this

function onSubmit() {

var changeType = g_form.getValue('type');

var requestedStartDate = g_form.getValue('start_date');

var currentDate = new Date();

var format = g_user_date_time_format;

var startDateMs = getDateFromFormat(requestedStartDate, format);

var CurrentDateMs = getDateFromFormat(currentDate, format);

if ((changeType == 'Normal' || changeType == 'Standard') && startDateMs) {

if (startDateMs < CurrentDateMs) {

g_form.showFieldMsg('start_date', 'The requested start date cannot be in the past.', 'error');

return false;

}

return true;

}

Ankur's answer will work for you; just replace Normal with normal and Standard with standard. If you want an error message instead of field message, you can use

g_form.addErrorMessage('The requested start date cannot be in the past.')

Please mark this as "correct" and "helpful" if you feel this answer helped you in anyway.

Thanks and Regards,

Ashish

if ((changeType == 'normal' || changeType == 'standard') && requestedStartDate) {
