This is done, Please test and let me know.

Steps to test

1) Create a new article and submit it. (Do not enter Published date now)

2) Click on publish button to publish the article. This will populate the published date and Valid To dates (Valid to is Published date + 1 year)

3) Try to change valid to > 1 year, you will get an error and user cannot change it.

Business rules

Set Valid To Upon Publish

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here

var publishedDate = new GlideDateTime(current.published.getDisplayValue());

publishedDate.addYears(1);

current.valid_to = publishedDate.getDate();

})(current, previous);

Check Valid To

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/){

// Add your code here

var validDate = new GlideDateTime(current.valid_to.getDisplayValue());

var publishedDate = new GlideDateTime(current.published.getDisplayValue());

publishedDate.addYears(1);

if(validDate > publishedDate){

gs.addInfoMessage("You cannot select this date as Valid to");

current.valid_to = previous.valid_to;

current.setAbortAction(true);

}

})(current, previous);

Hi-I was wondering if you could use the same logic but create a dynamic filter option and make the date a year from the date the published article is approved, rather than the date that publish is selected.

Currently, this is my code:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gdt.addYearsUTC(1); gdt.getDisplayValue();

Thanks,

Heather

Hi @Alikutty Abdulrazak ,

I need to limit the KB Valid to date but so it is 12 months from the current date.

Please can you advise on this?

I had tried your business rule above for Published date + 12 months but found it was not working - is this because of the system timezone settings and display values (ours is dd/MMM/yyyy)?

Thank-you!
DS

Should we use both Business rules ?
