How do I validate a custom date time is set to at least 3 days ahead of the current time?

Hi,

I have a Date-Time custom field.  I want to enforce that users set it to at least 3 days ahead of the present time.  For example, if today is January 1st, this field should be set to January 4th or later.

I tried the following Scriptrunner behavior below.  Added it is a server-side script to my custom field:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.impl.DateTimeCFType
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours


def futuredate = new Date().plus(3)

def dateFld = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def dateValue = dateFld.value as Date
dateFld.clearError()

if (dateValue < futuredate){
dateFld.setError("Requested Date cannot be before (${futuredate})") 
}

It does not have a compile error, but does not enforce the behavior I want.  Seems like nothing happens.   Any ideas how to fix my script?

I tested the script that you provided as a server-side script Behavior for a Date/Time picker custom field, but it worked fine for me. Do give this one a try and let me know how it goes :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

def date2 = new Date().plus(3)

def dateField = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def dateValue = dateField.value as Date

if (dateValue < date2){
dateField.setError("Date cannot be earlier than (${date2})") 
}

It should fulfill the same requirement but is a more simplified version.
