2721250 - Guide to using "validate-start-before-due" attribute in Goal Managemet template.

Symptom

There is an attribute in Goal Management named “validate-start-before-due”. It’s mainly for validating whether the start date is before the due date.

Resolution

Validate Start before Due is supposed to work for all tables that contain a start and due date column.  The only two tables that support both date fields are Tasks and Milestones. I believe each goal has that validation built in, as do other areas of the system like forms and employee profile background data.

Information from DTD

  1. validate the start/due date, to ensure that start date is before due date; no validation if it's false; it must be defined on start column (Line 1218)
  2. For all table columns which have id of start and a type of date, support another attribute, validate-start-before-due. If this attribute is set to false, then it turns off validation enforcement of the start date being before the due date. It must be defined on "start" column. (Line 1197)
