Date Selection

Version: Windchill 13.0

 

Use Case: I would like to be able to prevent users in my Windchill instance to pick dates in the future when populating a timestamp attribute.


Description:

Can this be achieved?

It sounds then what you might need would be some Listener and custom code. You could have the Listener run when the part instance is created, and validate that the date is not in the future. I think the out of the box constraints only allow for setting a static date range.

If this is in a workflow, yes this can be done but you need a check step after or you can add code to the transition section of the workflow task to do a date compare. Is there a particular UI entry section that you are looking to validate? There is also creating a validator if its a different part of the UI, not workflow related.

    Hi. I am looking to prevent users from picking a date in the future when populating an attribute of a part instance, for example. So, I don't believe this is workflow related.
