I added this validation in my froms.py for prevent to accept future date. But I am not undersating why it's not working and forms still now submitting with future date. here is my code:

import datetime
 
class AddPatientFrom(forms.ModelForm):
         
         date_of_birth =  forms.DateField(widget=forms.DateInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','type':'date'}),required=True)
       
         class Meta:
             model = Patient
             fields = ['date_of_birth']
         
         def clean_date(self):
                date = self.cleaned_data['date_of_birth']
                if date < datetime.date.today():
                    raise forms.ValidationError("The date cannot be in the past!")
                return date   

I also want to know how to disable to pick future date from Django default html calendar?

CodePudding user response：

You are checking the opposite: it will rase an error if the date of birth is before today. You should check if the date of birth is after today when raising a validation error, so:

def clean_date_of_birth(self):
    date = self.cleaned_data['date_of_birth']
    if date > datetime.date.today():  #
