Set minimum days - Date field Help

We are getting project requests with unrealistic due dates.  Is there a way to "block" the due date (Date custom field) so people can't pick anything less than 2 weeks into the future for a due date?

Thanks!

Hi there, unfortunately there isn't that calendar blocking functionality you're looking for. Here are similar Ideas to upvote:

As Madelyn said, you can't block it but you could make it appear in bold Red if the Due date is within 2 weeks of the entry date, or you could set the formatting to go Red if the date is too soon after the predecessor date. In fact, you could make the entire row turn red so they actually notice it.
