You can use the "Link" button (looks like a few links of a chain) to link a text field to a script button, so that pressing enter with the focus in the field will cause the script to be run. That script can then do any validation you need. Is that what you are asking for?

On a practical note, create a script button and build/test the script by pressing the button. Once it is working correctly, then link it to the relevant text field and hide the button (the user doesn't need to actually press it once it is linked, so it does not need to be visible).

i want to add JS validation to check whether the date entered is in correct format or not and same with the SO field.

You can do that with a "Calculate in JavaScript" action in the script. Use "Copy Value" first to grab the value from the "services end" field, and call it, say, "enddate". In the JavaScript, you can then access the value as "args.enddate". Do whatever validation you need in JavaScript and set a variable, say "args.valid", accordingly. The following steps of your script can then interact with screen elements to provide feedback as necessary - issue error messages, or whatever you need.

Does that make sense?

hi Roman,

In cases like these, as Steve suggested, posting your script will help others to identify where you are going wrong.

If you want a simple date format validation, you can use Regex. Something like this:

//regex for dd/mm/yyyy

var yourExpression = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/;

var yourDate = "07/06/1986".

if(yourDate.match(yourExpression)){

  alert("correct date");

}

Sushant i want tha date to be automatically fetched from the service end field and get checked.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Define "checked". How does Sushant's code above not do what you want? As I said earlier, post what you have so far and how it is not doing what you want, and then maybe we can help...

The screenshot doesn't show all of the script in step 2 (or does it?). Can you post the script separately so we can see it all?

value expression=/^\d{2}[./-]\d{2}[./-]\d{4}$/;

var yourDate=args.enddate;
