In one of my form, I've created a Java Script function to control that various dates entered are business day; the validation works well.
Within the process, there is an opportunity for users to go back to that form to change their data. At that moment, it looks like that the validations of dates is somehow removed from the fields and by default return false, which actually blocked then the whole form (I've added alert in the JS to check if they are displayed, but it's really look like the dates are not validated anymore). But, when the form is re-open using the monitoring view, validations work again... Could you please help me with that? Any idea of where it could come from? Thanks!...

Validations of other fields work well, it's only the validations of dates using my JS which fail

Can you share the JS which you are using to analyze more? Also can you check whether 'Refresh default values every time the task form is viewed' is check boxed or not in Other Tab of the task. forum.appian.com/.../Other_Tab

It was not check, I tried to run it again with the Refresh default values check but it didn't work again. JavaScript is the following:
function validateDay(dayField) {
          var dateString= FormAPI.getValue(dayField).id;
          //Return european format dd/mm/yyyy
          var arr = dateString.split('/');
          var day = arr[0];
          var month= arr[1];
          var year = arr[2];
          var dateString2= year+"/"+month+"/"+day;
          //created using american format yyyy/mm/dd
          var currentDate = new Date(dateString2);

          var d = currentDate.getDay();
          if(d > 0 && d < 6)
                    return true;
          else
                    return false;
}

Not. The only way is, to implement a component plugin. This conversation is about the old portals technology that was deprecated in 2015.

Appian supports any kind of HTML/JavaScript only inside component plugins.

What are you trying to implement?
