Please see example 9 of the gform\_datepicker\_options\_pre\_init() filter: > **[gform\_datepicker\_options\_pre\_init](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_datepicker_options_pre_init/#h-9-disable-past-dates)** > > This filter can be used to modify the options used to initialize a fields datepicker. That will prevent someone from selecting a date in the past in a datepicker. ---
