Allow greater control over data entry restrictions for fields

Create an option to restrict data entry based upon data that has been entered into the record. My example: We track time spent on a task using a ["Date/Time" IN] field and a ["Date/Time" OUT] field. Sometimes our contractors are not diligent in entering these so an entry that should be Time IN - 11/01/24 09:00 AM and Time OUT - 11/01/24 10:30 AM is accidentally entered as Time OUT: 11/11/24 10:30 AM. This results in several hundred hours being tallied. I need 2 restrictions: Time OUT cannot be negative and Time OUT cannot be >10 hours.

This is the one example I have, although I can see that other users could have different use case scenarios. We create documents (soon to be switched to within the SS environment) and preventing updates to documents outside of the task authorization period could be useful. The alert system in my mmind would be a pop-up that identifies unallowed attempts to enter data.

Hello Rob Tilley! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more examples of the data entry restrictions you would like to see implemented?
- Are there any other fields where you would like to see similar data entry restrictions?
- Would you find it useful to have a notification or alert system for when these data entry errors occur?
