1. First, create a Rich text field and fill in the eligibility criteria details for personal and vacation leave so the employee knows the criteria.
2. Then add a dropdown field with the different leave types and a hidden Date Limit field to determine the earliest date an employee can avail of a leave.
3. To achieve this, we can compute the field using the IF() operator, with the formula if(Leave_type = "Personal," today() + 3, if(Leave_type = "Vacation," today() + 10, today())). This field will be computed based on the formula every time a new item is created. 
4. Now, in the leave Start date field, add 2 validations: The date should not be in the past and should be Greater than the date in the date limit field.
5. For the first validation, Set a custom error message: Start date cannot be in the past.
6. For the second validation, choose the Date limit field and set the custom error message as: You do not meet the eligibility requirement. Please read the requirements mentioned above.
