How to write a Validator to restrict a Custom Date field to now or a future date?

I'm trying to write a Validator against a Custom Date field, in order to force users to update the date to the same day or a future date, but I can't seem to find the right syntax to make this work? 

I tried '{Next Action Completion} >= [now]' is true, but the system only allows a future date and not the current date?  I also tried other syntax like startOfDay() or endOfDay(-1d), but the system didn't accept these arguements?

Any suggestions?

Hi Karl,

Maybe take the = out and only use > 

So  '{Next Action Completion} > [now]'

Same issue I'm afraid! It will only allow a future date and not today's date!?
