Hi,
You can use validate or edit validate rule.
- From the property itself you can adapt the OOTB edit validate rule "isFutureDate" and create "isPastDate"
Depending on the property type, you can:
- datetime: use a validate rule and call the function [a datetime] is in the [past/future]
- date: use a validate rule and call the function that will call the function: Validation of [Property Name] using [Edit Validate Name] fail

Hello,
There is no edit validate rule called IsPastDate but there are some edit validate rules such as: pyIsPastDate and NotFutureDate which will come under the same scenario.
Thanks,

Hi Nirmal,
Better option is to go for edit validate. Because in case you give a date control and in the UI you do not enter a date ( in case it is not required) then a default date of 1970 is displayed.
