You can test these things with calculated values. The syntax will be different for a condition - I didn't know that's what you were doing, and thought you'd be pasting this into the function editor for a rule. For a condition, change the first dropdown to "the expression" and use: translate(xdDate:Today(), "-", "") > 20201205https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123685.aspxFri, 20 Nov 2020 15:26:23 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123685ipisors0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123685.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=123685See above screenshot, did not work when Publish it, at that moment it gave error.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123684.aspxFri, 20 Nov 2020 15:09:41 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123684ipisors0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123684.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=123684Ok, and does today() include the Time component? If so, does that mean I should make it translate(today(), "-", "") > 20201205 (since even 12/5/2020 12:01 AM will be greater) and I want it to "pass" the test as soon as it's 12/05 ? This did not work upon Publish time, it then said errorhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123683.aspxThu, 19 Nov 2020 23:47:01 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123683Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123683.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=123683Oh, I'd probably use a translate formula and just turn the date into numbers: translate(today(), "-", "") > 20201204https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123682.aspxThu, 19 Nov 2020 21:45:29 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123682ipisors0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123682.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=123682How can I test in an expression if today is after december 4th, 2020? I couldn't find this from googling! sorry! and thank you for looking at my question.
