Hi... I tried search on validation of Dates, especially while selecting while selecting dates from form. I need to restrict use of past dates and user should be able to select dates which is today or ahead of today.
Please suggest.
There is no Date Validation feature built into forms. The best recommendation I can make is to add a helper column on the sheet and have it populate with something if the date is in the past as compared to the submission date. You could then build an update request to be sent out to the submitter to select an appropriate date.
Hello,
As Paul mentioned, there currently isn’t a way to restrict users from selecting a date in the past. When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request.
To add to Paul’s suggestion, you could create an Update Request rule that will send an Update Request when a new row is added and the date entered in the date column is in the past. No formula necessary.
If needed, more information on Update Requests can be found in this help article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476191-automate-your-work-alerts-actions
I hope this helps!
