function onSubmit() {

    var terminationDate = g_form.getValue('actual_end_date');

    var extensionDate = g_form.getValue('contractor_extension_date');

    // Check if Extension date is before Termination date

    if (extensionDate <= terminationDate) {

        // Prevent the form from being submitted

        alert('Extension date cannot be before or on the Termination date.');

        return false; // This prevents the form from being submitted

    }

    // If validation passes, allow the form to be submitted

    return true;

}

This code is not working for read only field.
Case: On portal the termination date is read only and the date is populating based on user we select,if i select past date the form is getting submitted.It should save only when the extended date is selected as future

Hi @HARSHA GOWDA R 

I have made some changes in your code and its working.....

Try this code

function onSubmit() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var terminationDate = g_form.getValue('actual_end_date');

    var extensionDate = g_form.getValue('contractor_extension_date');

    // Check if both dates are not empty

    if (terminationDate && extensionDate) {

        // Convert the dates to JavaScript Date objects

        var terminationDateObj = new Date(terminationDate);

        var extensionDateObj = new Date(extensionDate);

        // Check if the extension date is before or on the termination date

        if (extensionDateObj <= terminationDateObj) {

            // Prevent the form from being submitted

            alert('Extension date cannot be before or on the Termination date.');

            return false; // This prevents the form from being submitted

        }

    }

    // If validation passes, allow the form to be submitted

    return true;

}

Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.

g_form.getValue() method returns the field value as a string. Comparing strings is not the same as comparing dates and can lead to unexpected results. You need to convert the strings to dates while taking care about the date format. Only then you can compare the values correctly.
