    if (in_array($current_screen->id, array('toplevel_page_gf_edit_forms', 'gravityforms_page_gf_settings'))) {
        return true;
    }
    return $has_notices;
}
add_filter('gform_has_admin_notices', 'show_notice_on_specific_pages');

Custom function to show notice based on date

    $end_date = '2023-05-31';
    $current_date = date('Y-m-d');

    if ($current_date >= $start_date && $current_date <= $end_date) {
        return true;
    }
    return $has_notices;
}
add_filter('gform_has_admin_notices', 'show_notice_within_date_range');
