I would like to validate datetime control. Initially the current month should be used to this process.

If the current month between Jan-June then July to Dec should be disabled.
If the current month between July-Dec then Jan to June should be disabled.

Can I know whether this is possible

Thank you

Are you limiting the date to the current year?

Create the following trigger:

Code: Select all

$nMonth = (int) date("m");
if (nMonth < 7) {
    @@minDate = date("Y-01-01"); //Y will be replaced with the current year
    @@maxDate = date("Y-06-30"); 
}
else {
    @@minDate = date("Y-07-01"); 
    @@maxDate = date("Y-12-31");
}

Set this trigger to fire before the Dynaform containing the datatime field.

Then, in the properties of your datetime field, set the min date property to: @@minDate
and set the max date property to: @@maxDate

This example will help you: https://wiki.processmaker.com/3.2/Datet ... _variables

But the datetime field does not vaidate minDate and maxDate

The min date and max date properties limit the dates that can be selected with the date picker and datetime fields won't let you manually enter a date outside the bound.

If you don't see that, you probably didn't set something correctly. Here is a sample process to demonstrate it:
