Unable to Select the Current date

[msm4]

Hi Team,

Please find the below snippet i used to validate the date field to select only the current and future date.

But the problem is im unable to select the current date.

Please guide where i m wrong.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

var today = new Date();

var dateMS = today.getTime();

var current_date = new Date();

current_date.setTime(dateMS);

var new_date = new Date(getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_time_format));

g_form.setValue('ftr_needed_by',formatDate(current_date,g_user_date_time_format));

if(new_date>=current_date)

{

// this is valid

}

  else{

  alert("selected date should be current date or future date");

  g_form.setValue('axa_asia_ph_var_date_needed','');

}

}

Thanks in Advance

Hi Smitha,

This OnChange client script would serve your purpose :

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

  if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

  return;

  }

var currentDate = new Date();

var currentDateFormat = formatDate(currentDate, g_user_date_time_format); // get the user date format

var currentDateFinal = getDateFromFormat(currentDateFormat, g_user_date_time_format);//convert to the user date format

//alert(currentDateFinal);

//get duration

var duration = g_form.getValue('u_startdt');//get your variable field date

var durationFinal = getDateFromFormat(duration, g_user_date_time_format);//convert to the user date format

//alert(durationFinal);

var difference = durationFinal - currentDateFinal;

if (difference < 0) {

  //flag++;

  alert('You cannot select a date in the past.');

  g_form.setValue('u_startdt', ''); //Replace u_startdt with your variable name

}

Please let   me know if you have further queries.

Thanks,

Arnab

Hello Everyone,

I tried all the above scripts you provided .. but no luck.

It seems very simple but im unable to trigger-out the mistake.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

var today = new Date();

var dateMS = today.getTime();

var current_date = new Date();

current_date.setTime(dateMS);

var selected_date = new Date(getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_format));

g_form.setValue('ftr_needed_by',formatDate(current_date,g_user_date_format));

  alert(selected_date);

  alert(current_date);

if(selected_date >= current_date)

{

//valid condition

}

  else{

  alert("selected date should be current date or future date");

  g_form.setValue('axa_asia_ph_var_date_needed','');

}

}

Please can anyone correct the code above.

I found that getDateFromFormat function wasn't working for me.   Which is why my code above does not use it.

For what it's worth, my script was not intended to run as-is. You will need to modify it for your field(s) and remove the bits you don't need (e.g. start < end comparison.)

Hi,

Rather than client script use the following UI policy with the following condition :

Write following script :

function onCondition() {

      g_form.setValue('date_of_joining', "'');

      alert("Enter valid date");

}

Its simple and works in all the cases.
