OOO request fails when today’s date is selected.

[Dhirenderchoudhary]

Description:

There is a bug when today’s date is selected while creating an OOO request - the API returns 400 Bad Request due to the current validation logic.

I wanted to confirm the expected behaviour so I can fix it correctly:

If today’s date is NOT allowed:

Then the popup message needs to be updated.
Currently it says:
“from date must be equal to or greater than today’s date”
which is misleading and should reflect that only future dates are allowed.

If today’s date iS allowed:

Then the backend validation logic needs to be updated in the code to allow same-day requests.

Please let me know which behaviour we want, and I’ll make the required changes accordingly.

We should allow current date when raising a request. Thank you for identifying it @Dhirenderchoudhary
