    Is there a way to have a custom message appear if they choose a date that does meet the perimeters?

    Hi Academy Office, 

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Custom Message is possible with the use of Paragraph Element and Conditions. Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Basic tab, drag and drop a Date element and Paragraph element to your form.
    3. Hover on the Paragraph Element and click the Pencil Icon. How to have custom message appear with Date? Image 1 Screenshot 50

    5. Right-click on the Paragraph Element and choose Hide. How to have custom message appear with Date? Image 2 Screenshot 61

    7. In the left pane, choose Conditions click Add New Condition.
    8. Set the conditions like below: How to have custom message appear with Date? Image 3 Screenshot 72
