Best way to validate dependent date and time fields in Jira Forms?

Hi @Ethann Collins ,

Native functionalities won't cover this, as there are no 'dependencies' within Jira Forms (either software/business or service ones).

Without Marketplace apps, automation would probably be sufficient to either:

• Do manual 'fix'/recalculation of dependent fields
• Warn the reporter that something is off when it comes to the entry they submitted

All in all, I'd probably turn to Marketplace and solutions there. Although I have never tested that many of them to be sure which one would work in this case 👀

Btw, I know there's this feature request related to what you're looking for, but it's for JSM forms: JSDCLOUD-10703: Form Validation: Date/Time relative validation (range, +/- x days) 

Potentially someone will chime in, but if you do find something that would fulfill this, I'd appreciate it if you could share your findings here.

Cheers,
Tobi

I do work at Adaptavist, but I am not sharing ScriptRunner as an option for that reason. I'm sharing it because I have personally used it on a project for this use case in the past week.

My use case was that I wanted to show in the portal a justification field if the effective date of an employee change (like manager, team, role, department change) was within 10 business days - otherwise I would hide the field.

JSM Behaviors with SR only work if you are using the request form and not putting it on a "form form". Could be a limitation for some users, but what I did is I put those fields on top, and then attached the form with different fields at the bottom. 

Request form:

How it looks in the portal if effective date was within 10 business days

If it was longer than 10 business days - you see it is hidden
