Block Dates Configuration

The Block Dates configuration allows administrators to control which dates a user can select when filling in date fields. This feature ensures project timelines align with submission requirements by preventing users from selecting dates too close to the project submission date.

How It Works

When configuring a field of type Date, you can specify a range of blocked days before and/or after the project submission date.

• Limit dates before: Prevents users from selecting a date that falls within the specified number of days before the submission date.

• Limit dates after: Prevents users from selecting a date that falls within the specified number of days after the submission date.

If a user attempts to select a date within the restricted range, an error message will display, informing them that the date is invalid.

Configuration Steps

1. Open the form or workflow step that contains a Date field.

2. In the field settings, select one or both of the following options:

   • Limit dates before – Check this box and enter the number of days to block before the submission date.

   • Limit dates after – Check this box and enter the number of days to block after the submission date.

3. Save your changes.
