[Flow] Validating dates amongst different objects

[Mark Kuiphuis]

Thanks for your reply,

I have read that page a couple of times now, but I fail to see how 
something like this could be implemented.

I don't think I need to validate a complete model. Whenever I want to 
create a new object with a start and end date I need to validate if the 
start and/or end date is within a certain range or after a certain date 
from another object....

I'll do some more research tomorrow, but if someone else already has 
achieved something similar, than I would like to hear/read about it :D

Cheers, Mark K.
