Conditional logic in combination with date value

[klurth]

Hey there,

I found several forum entries for conditional logic in combination with date values like an age validator. Unfortunately I am not able to get started with my “challenge” 🙂

I have the following situation. I want the user of the form to enter a date in the past. If this date is more than e. g. 6 months ago, I want to display html field X. If this date is less than e. g. 6 months ago, I want to display html field Y. I know how to control the html fields with conditional logic in certain date ranges. But I cannot figure out how to set the dynamic range (Today minus 6 months or sth. similar).

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hey Ally,

wow! Thanks a lot for the quick response and the solution. Works like a charm!

Advanced question… Is it possible to adjust the code to count days instead of months? I tried some changes, but I’m a newbie to javascript 🙁

And I’d like to buy you a coffee for your awesome work. Do you have a donation link?

Hey Ally,

once again thanks a lot! It also works perfectly. May I disturb you one more time? It’s really the last time. I promise 🙂

How can I add a specific number of days to a date? For example: date is entered in field 1_3, let’s say 09.12.2021. And I want to add 21 days to show in another field (1_8) to output 30.12.2021 and add 28 days to output 06.01.2022 in field 1_9.

Thanks again and enjoy your coffee 😉

Thomas

Many thanks again, Ally!

OK, will do 🙂

Is it possible to validate a date field, check the date format immediately and print out an error message, if the format is wrong? For example: I need to have the format dd.mm.yyyy but the user inputs dd.mm.yy. Error message could be sth. like this: “Please enter the correct date format” Or is it even possible to change the input into the right format automatically?

Hi Ally,

yes, it is a date field. I’m using conditional logic in combination with the date field and the javascript calculations above. To be more specific: If the days between field 1_3 and the hidden field 1_4 are less then 28 field 1_9 ($datePlus28) should be displayed. In this case it is not necessary to submit the form.

But the field 1_9 is not displayed if the the date format in field 1_3 is dd.mm.yy and not dd.mm.yyyyy.

So my first Idea was to check if the date format is valid and notificate the user.

Alternatively I wondered to switch off the input option and only use the date picker. That would be fine for me as well. While using the date picker it works as expected.
