Ability to limit "date" requests

Feature Request

One thing I would like to see from NoteForms is the ability to limit what days of the week users can enter for the “date” field. We use NoteForms to help book equipment pickup, but since our business isn’t open on weekends or outside of certain hours, it would be awesome to be able to prevent people from picking times outside our days/hours (even accidentally) for equipment pickup!

    Yes! And just extend this very useful idea further, it would be great to include other rules around dates (Tally Forms have a feature like that already), for example:

    • date must be in the future (excl. past dates) and vice-versa

    • date must be at least X days from now

    • date A must be at least X days after (or before) date B

    • exclude certain days of the week

    … and the ultimate would be:

    A rule that allows us to say, “If multi-select option 1 was selected, date A must be min. X days from today”, “if multi-select option 2 was selected, date A must be min. Y days from today”, etc.

    Use case:

    We allow people to schedule creative tasks into our agency and want to stop them from setting the deadlines too tight. We need them not to be able to pick due dates at weekends and we also want them to honour a minimum lead time for larger projects.

    Hi Kathleen,

    Thanks for reaching out. As of now the best thing that we can do is add a custom validation to our date input fields.

    Please check the help page below.

      Thanks, Archie. But for the date scenario, the custom validation options are completely insufficient. I can’t even set a rule to ensure - say - the date B must be after date A.
      And since this is a year-old request, we’d hoped there’s a better solution for it by now. No?
