Manual Date entry resulting in Dec 31, 1969 entry

[Gabe Belknap]

Hi folks, hope all are well.

Within my Confiform intake, I have a date field that if folks do not use the date picker and add a date manually in the wrong format, upon creating the JIRA the date defaults to Dec 31, 1969.

I have tried to add a rule to prevent this from happening, although unsuccessfully.    

Any thoughts on how I can force the user to use the selector or ensure if they add the date manually they enter in the expected format?

Thanks in advance

You can set up a rule to validate that the date given (it's timestamp) is after some certain date

This tutorial shows how to compare the dates, but your use case is even simple, as you need to check against some numeric value (you decide what is teh minimal date you can accept and convert it to a timestamp to compare against)

Hey Gonchik

I saw that post actually, but similar to that person I am not able to get that to work.

Are you able to help me understand what my rule might look like to force the date to be greater than 0?

Thanks

Hi @Gabe Belknap , 

I think you need to digg into js code and meanwhile raise ticket to vendor
