Checking user end date changes via UI

I have a setup where you can update user's end date via register user form. I have a dynamic attribute called "enddate" that maps to user column "enddate" and is of type Date.

Is there any simple way to compare if the date in dynamic attribute is after or before enddate in user column.

If I do this in workflow, I have following available:

• dynamic attribute as string, e.g. 12-31-2020 and
• java.sql.Timestamp object as ${user.enddate}

Unfortunately java.sql.Timestamp does not offer suitable methods to compare a string date. And we cannot use Java classes like DateFormat in workflow groovy parts.
Thanks,Juha

Hi Juha,

You can use (Date.parse('MM-dd-yyyy',dynamicAttributes.get('enddate')) < new Date().Plus (366)) to compare date in dynamic attributes in a workflow.
