Problems with Validation Condition logic

Users
1

I am trying to place a validation condition on entering a date. It needs
to be equal to or less then "todays date" and greater then a date from a
previous question.

I have tried . <= today() and /data/date_uree_1 = "" or /data/date_uree_1 <
. And I am unable to answer the question with any date (before or after)

I have also tried .<=today () and .>/data/date and have the same problem.

Thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I think you are on the right track: . <= today() and . > /data/date_uree_1
seems like it should work (assuming that date_uree_1 is prior to today).
You could also try using date() around the reference to see if that helps
with the format of the data; in that case it would look like:

. <= today() and . > date(/data/date_uree_1)

If it still isn't working you might just test it out using each part of
that validation to ensure it is working independently prior to combining
them.
