How to put a condition on the date field before the issue created

[CRS123456]

Hello,

Thanks for your excellent website.

I'm a Jira-service desk supporter.

I have got a project definition issue type and in this issue type, I've got a date picker field that has the Project Plan Delivery Date name. but I want to put a condition on this field for users can't pick a date for more than 2 months.

Also, I have "Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA" but don't know how to write scripts.

I appreciate your help.

import org.apache.xpath.operations.Minus

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserUtil

import java.util.Date.*

// Get pointers to my date field and get its value as a date

def cf = getFieldByName("userdate")

def cfval = cf.getValue() as Date

if(cfval > 60) {

fieldScreen.print("Please enter a day less than 60 days")

}else{

fieldScreen.remove()

}

I searched some things but don't know if this code is right or not. Can anyone help me, please?

You should edit your workflow, and on a specific transition, you can add a "Validator" that is called "Date Compare Validator"

Thank you @Marcin Wiktor 

I know this way but this is for when I created the issue.

I want something before the creation so as a result, I don't have workflow before the creation.

@CRS123456 but you can add this validator on a "create issue" path (literally the path that goes as first in your's workflow) - it will prevent people from createing an issue when this condition isn't match.

You're right. I didn't know this so I learned a new thing.

It's working great, man. Thanks a lot.
