Can the date field be enhanced to "gray out" certain dates so that people cannot select those dates?

Customers can select any date on the planned completion date field. It would be great if we could apply constraints such as but not limited to:

  • no dates in the past
  • no weekends
  • no holidays
  • no tomorrow/next day

I would sure love to see this on custom date fields as well!

In the hopes of increasing the searchability of this idea, here are some other ways to phrase it:

Block out date options

Blackout dates on date picker

Adjust available dates for requester

Custom field restraints on target or requested completion date

I came here to ask this same thing. Our team really wants this to help teach our clients the proper lead times for certain requests.

We use a campaign start and end date on a custom form and need the ability to validate the values to prevent dates in the past or contradictory values from being entered. It would be super if we could validate to only be able to select dates in the future or that a end date is after a start date much like some of the sytem fields in Workfront!

This is something we have wanted since we went live with Workfront. The specific criteria we need are:

  • Do not allow a customer to select date in the past
  • Gray out dates in non-standard turn times (example: if we require at least 6 days to complete the work then the customer cannot select a date within that 6 days, only a date after it)
  • When there are more than one calendar field, allow for settings of the second (or third, etc) field to be set to a date after. Tie to the previous field to set criteria. 
  • We need this to be customizable by form, so it can be set to each specific request type since they can be very different.

We have the same issue with dates being selected that don't follow our standard turnaround/lead time. There needs to be a way to grey out certain dates.

 

I would love to see that incorporated with a schedule as well, so if a company or department is closed on certain days as noted on the Workfront schedule, those days are automatically greyed out as well so requests cannot be submitted with a due date of when the department or company is closed.
