Prevent meal requests beyond stay duration in hotel booking forms
While this sounds simple, things can get tricky if the form allows guests to request meals for more days than they’re actually staying. For instance, a guest staying for 3 nights shouldn’t be able to request meals for 5 days.
So the objective here is to deny any form submission when the number of days for meal request exceeds the number of days of stay (days between the check-in and check-out dates).
Logic
-
The difference between check-in and check-out gives the total number of days of stay.
-
Meals can be provided only for the number of days within this stay period.
-
If the user enters a value greater than the stay duration in the Number of days meals required field, the form submission should be denied.
Configuring rules for denying form submissions
- In your form builder, navigate to the Rules tab and go to Deny Submissions.
- Click Configure Now.
-
Define the condition to deny form submissions:
If Number of Days you require meals is greater than Number of days of stay (select the Formula field), then show the denial message. -
Click Add to view the rule summary.
If the respondent enters a number of meal days that exceeds their stay duration, the form will automatically deny submission.
