Can we restrict the data selector to a future date?

David Smelser

For example, as for use with a form, can a formula be entered to restrict the calendar/date selector for a date field to not allow a date no sooner than 2 weeks from ()TODAY? Purpose: limiting the request for an event to not be submitted last minute. Making sure there is a two week buffer between requesting and the event date. Thanks!!!

Hi @David Smelser

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Have a dropdown list with the dates instead, and then transform them on the sheet to the actual date column.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

I had the same issue. What I did was I added a Logic with the criteria that if they selected a date outside of my availability, a message would appear asking them to select a new date.

When [Date] is not between [x] and [y], then show [Error Message]
