Button visibility if the date of the record is in the past

[Martin]

Hi guys,

I want that logged in users can update their records (–> events), if the date of the event is in the future.
But if the date of the event is somewhere in the past the logged in user should not have the opportunity to update the record anymore.

My problem is, that I can just ask for a comparison to the logged in users data, right?

What can I do for button visibility if such date is in the past?
Any suggestions?

Thank you and best regards
Martin

You could create a formula field to do a true/false check based on the date field?

e.g. I have a field to check if my events have started or not:

@Martin I would suggest for now going with @Matt’s suggestion.

Yes, thank you for that idea.
