Restricting date selection - no future date was created by sbcha28
I'd like to restrict respondents to selecting a past date (ideally gray out any future dates from selection) using the date question type. We've found that people don't pay attention to the year and often pick dates in the future for a question that asks about a past behavior.
I found this post which basically asks the same question but I cannot seem to figure out where to put the code.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Did you look at manual ?
manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Da..._date_.28date_max.29
"today" seems a good idea for past date only

Thanks so much for your note, that worked perfectly. I had looked at the manual but for some reason it didn't really click with me what to do until I saw your note. Appreciate your comment despite my thickheaded-ness.

If you have good idea : maybe you can report issue at the bug tracker (there are a categories Documentation).
And it's a wiki : then you can edit it yourself.

Quick follow-up question, how do I hide the tip that shows up with the date restriction? I clicked on "hide tip" to yes but it's still showing up, I feel like it's pretty confusing to get the tip when I've already put in a date before today.
