    Is it possible to have the valildation of Start Date without End Date?

    So that date selected must be after a certain time. e.g. 100 years ago.

    And with the selected date available any time after that.

    Hi DannyStone,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. You can easily set up validation for a Start Date without requiring an End Date. Here’s how:

    1. In Form Builder, select the date field and click on its Gear icon to open its properties.
    2. Then, Select Limits tab and set the Start Date to today-36500. This will restrict users from selecting any date earlier than 100 years before the current date. How to Restrict Date Picker to Dates Within the Last 100 Years Image 1 Screenshot 30

    There is no way I would have figured that out.
