    Hi, is there a way restrict users from selecting a date that is within 3 days of today's date using the date picker in a configurable list?

    Hi Lewis,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, the Date Picker field in the Configurable List widget does not have the option to restrict users from picking a date that is within 3 days of today's date. You may use the Date Picker element from the Basic elements to achieve this. Then, on the Limits tab, set the Start Date to "today+3". Let me show you how:

    1. Click the Add Form Element in Form Builder.
    2. In the Basic tab, click the Date Picker element to add it to your form.Configurable List widget: Restrict users from a selecting a date that is within 3 days of todays date for the Date Picker field Image 1 Screenshot 50
    3. Then, select the Date Picker element and click the Gear icon.
    4. Go to the Limits tab.Configurable List widget: Restrict users from a selecting a date that is within 3 days of todays date for the Date Picker field Image 2 Screenshot 61
    5. Scroll down to Start & End Date and set the Start Date to today+3.Configurable List widget: Restrict users from a selecting a date that is within 3 days of todays date for the Date Picker field Image 3 Screenshot 72

    You can test my demo form or clone it to see how the Date Picker element is set up. If you'd like, we can escalate it as a feature request to our developers, but when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it.

    Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.
