Re: Force Date Chosen to be 'x' days out

Thanks Jimmy! I'd love to be able to take business days into account, but we have some pretty tight controls on what I can actually download in my office. No admin access to my computer, so very little is available. Not sure I'd even be able to use qRules as much as I'd like to.

Without taking business days into account, the following validation rule should work:

Condition: date [Is less than] (Use a formula...) addDays(submissionDate, 10)

To take business days into account, I think you'd need something like the DateDiff command in qRules (which has support for business days). Let me know if you'd like to give that a try.

Force Date Chosen to be 'x' days out

I swear I did this before using the addDays function, but I can't remember how I did it. How can I force the date chosen on a date picker to be at least x number of days from the submitted date (which defaults to today())?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to count only business days as well... i.e. date entered must be at least 10 business days later than the submission date.

Thanks!
