Calendar Control Validation

I played around with it a little and it looks like the date value will be visible to the rules at runtime if a valid date is selected or hand entered correctly. If it’s entered in with a bad value, then the Calendar control does appear to evaluate to Empty when validating in a conditional rule. Try putting an advanced condition check on the Calendar and if it’s empty, then a date was either not selected or the value was entered incorrectly. 

Thank you for the suggestion, but the issue is how to prevent the form from being submitted if there is an invalid value in the Calendar control and a value for the Calendar control field is not required. Since it evaluates to an empty value, it will pass the validation check and the user won’t know that the invalid value they entered will not be saved. Granted, the control does get a big red border around it but I would prefer to be able to pop a message box on Submit that lets the user know there are invalid values and prevent the submit from taking place until they correct it.

Oh, right. 😅 I rushed through that a bit too fast. I see what you mean. I’ll keep looking at it and ask around.
