Hello,

I have a due date Date Field on several forms and I want to be able to do a validation on the date that is entered when the user submits the form. I know I can do this via Business Rules for Forms, but I am having challenges getting it to work with my specific scenario.

I want to check that the date selected for the due date, for example, is seven days from the current date or after.

How exactly do I set the conditions to get this to work correctly? Every option I’ve tried does not work.

Thank you!

You can only do it on a a Business Rule related to a specific service item, it doesn't work on the incident form.

 

Business Rules » New Rule » Service Item » [Service Item Name]

 

and then set it up like this

Hello,

 

I tried that option; however, it is still allowing me to enter invalid dates. With the configuration shown below it allowed me to submit the form with today’s date.

Set a Business Rule where Due Date ≥ Today + 7 days. If the condition fails, show an error message like “Due Date must be at least 7 days from today.” This ensures only valid dates are accepted.
