[Status: Launched 🚀] Request Form Date settings - block out dates
We have designated timelines for each of our various project types/requests and as such in our old system project request forms we blocked the calendar accordingly so the first date someone is allowed to select for a due date is anywhere from 10 days to 4 weeks out (as seen in the attached photo example). All the dates in-between are blocked out and un-clickable. We are wondering if it’s possible to accommodate this feature. This helps prevent the expectation that if a staff member selects a sooner date that we will be able to get the project done quicker.
Hi again, folks! No current updates from the team yet, we'll be checking again in the coming months. Thank you for your continued feedback here 🙌

Definitely need this pretty please!
This is similar to something that would be useful for my compliance planning work also. Though, I would like to be able to block out dates that aren't dependent on a request date.
My use case would be: we have a task that comes around every 4 to 6 years that has some rules around when it can happen (example, NEVER do that task on a public holiday or any day between Dec 20th and Jan 20th). If I could build those rules into the template, it would be easier for confidence in future scheduling. Particularly if/when I leave, it would prevent others scheduling during blackout dates.
HI Kristin Spaetzel, thank you for your detailed feedback! I've passed your comment over to our Product Team 👍
Lisa, I noticed my post here still says backburner but the post by Rachel (which is basically and identical request) says it's in the Investigating stage so can I assume this is as well just not marked as such?

Trish Doty it looks like it. At last!
You're right Trish Doty, thank you for flagging it! These two ideas seem similar, so I changed the status here is well 🙂

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce the launch of date constraints for date-type fields in request forms 🎉 This new feature enables you to restrict certain dates from being selected, such as due dates that are too soon. You can find more information about this update here ✅
