How can I set a date range limit to a date attribute in a form?

Question

In the user creation entry I have added a renamed custom attribute called Start Date so that the requester can only request accounts be created past a certain relative date. The idea is to implement the policy that all requests require at least 2 weeks margin so staff has time to provision material and do necessary inventory checks, delivery, etc. I have gotten so far as defining the default date in the property pattern of a renamed custom date attribute (e.g. admCustomeAttributeDate > Start Date), but there is no way to restrict it in Property Pattern to only dates that are more than 2 weeks after the request. Is this a limitation of the product or am I looking to implement this requirement incorrectly?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to specify the limits you need. Thank you for the suggestion. We have forwarded it to the corresponding department.

As a solution, you can use a business rule triggering Before creating a user. The rule will cancel the operation if the date attribute does not meet the requirements. For example, if the date must be at least 2 weeks after the current date, the business rule will look like the following:
