Is there a method to force individual patepickers to show no past dates to be selected?

The following will default any past selected date to current the current date, but I would prefer if they don't even show.

As a field rule as a custom: 

$j(function () {$j("#dp_frm_component_input1_2945").datepicker("option", "minDate", 0);});

Thanks,

Hi Kurt.

This is what i love about Javascript capabilities with Automate Evolve. You can surely achieve this, please refer below attached video for steps.

NOTE: below video contains both scenarios where you want to disable dates on a single datepicker(0mins to 2:26) or all datepickers (2:26 to 3:24).
-----------------
Code used:

• For Single DatePicker:

Hope this helps.

Hammad,

I ran into a couple issues:

When I place your suggested code in the date field the past dates are not greyed out when the calendar pops up. However, when I select a past date in the calendar the date returned to the field is the current date. I found that to be "acceptable".

What I didn't realize until testing it is the date that was "selected" was the date maintained in a hidden input value in the html. Example - I selected 5/1/2026 and the date field shows 5/5/2026 (which was current date). The html for the inputs value=2026-05-01

Code Used:

jQuery(function ($) {
  const $el = $("#dp_frm_component_input1_2945");
  if ($el.hasClass("hasDatepicker")) {
    $el.datepicker("option", {
      minDate: 0,
      showOn: "focus"
    });
  }
});

Thoughts on a fix?

Thanks,

Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Did you enable the rule to run on form load?  That's what I had to do to get this to work.
