Set StartDate as a present date
Hello,
How to set the start date property should be the present date only while doing validations.
I have checked inside the validation rule but there we can only set past or future date, there is no option to set the present date.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Shweta V Singh.

If I understand correctly you need the currentDate(today's Date). Probably you can use an edit validate rule.
In this edit validate rule you can write a java step which will compare the input Date Property with today's date.

This way you can perform validation.Please let me know in case I misunderstood something.

Hi Shweta,
Suggestion: If the user is not allowed to select any other date except the current date, why wouldn't you make the field read-only and display the current date.
Regardless, you can use expression evaluates to true and write a custom condition.
Eg: !@pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture(DateProperty, true)

This is reply to all.
Actually I have used "@(Pega-RULES:DateTime).CurrentDateTime()" this as a default value to set the current system time. So it worked.
But thanx for your replies and efforts.
