ALM Octane Date fields - Disallow selecting Today and Past Date

In Date Fields , I would like to know how to disallow selecting Today and Past Dates. Is this can be done via any rules or what all are the various options available. Thanks !

    Hello,

    About which entity are you referring? I think depending on the entity it should allow you to select previous dates, if you need to prevent a date field with this functionality, I am not sure a rule will accomplish it, you can submit an idea depending on your request:  community.microfocus.com/.../ideas 

    Best regards,

    Bernal.

    Hi,

    For eg : Target date or planned completion date for a Feature or User Story - we would like to prevent the users from selecting Past Date.

    currently it's not supported using built in business logic, you can see similar idea at  closed on date of a defect cannot be a future date
    I suggest to vote for it and add comment about prevent past dates.

    What you can do today, which is not easy but doable:

    1. create business rule that alerts if someone adds date that is before date X (some date).
    2. create automation that will run daily and will use rest api to update this business rule definition changing the date to "today"

    This way you will have updated business rule that prevents users from entering past dates.
