Block the insertion of date before the current one

[Fabio Manzoni]

Hi everyone,

Is possible to block the insertion of date before the current one?

For example: Today is 04/06/2018 and the user tries to put 04/05/2018. The jira should show that the date before the current date is not allowed.

Thanks,

Fabio.

Hello @Fabio Manzoni

You can implement a check in the "validation" phase. If the user is entering the date on the create screen then you can add a check in the "validation" phase of the workflow transition that the date should not be less than the current date.

Tarun, 

Thanks for answer. 

Do you have an example code?

Out of the box you can't have it, I use the script runner plugin for implementing such features.

You can easily get the value of the date using customFieldManager then convert the value to an Date object and then compare it with today's date.
