hi. hopefully a simple question.

i have two date fields. one is start date, one is end date. obviously i don't want the end date ever to be earlier than the start date. can i make it an error if this is chosen? how?

Hi @cchan000 

Disable the submit button by setting displaymode property for button as

If(dateEnd.SelectedDate<dateStart.SelectedDate,DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

Also add a label with erro message text

and set visible property of label to 

dateEnd.SelectedDate<dateStart.SelectedDate

where dateStart and dateEnd are control names of date field

hi. this is what i put in the SECOND date picker right? The first one i leave alone?

this is what i have right now in the DATA CARD properties of the second picker.

If(FIRSTDATACARD.SelectedDate<FIRSTDATACARD.SelectedDate,DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

FIRSTDATACARD = the datacard of the first date picker. is what i have above right?

Hi @cchan000 

There is no need to make any formula changes to DatePickers. To display an error, you can create a text label, and set the below configurations: 

Label Control

Text -> "Start Date cannot be greater than End Date"

Color -> Red

VIsible -> If(DatePicker1.SelectedDate > DatePicker2.SelectedDate, true,false)

Here, DatePicker1 corresponds to Start Date and DatePicker2 corresponds to End Date.

Hope this Helps!
