Hi

I have a date/time field. I want when user click on that field date should populate 5 days after today.

Please let me know how can I achieve this.

Hi coolsaurabh,

Try to use this script:

var cdt = g_form.getValue('some_date'); //Choose the field to add time from
var addtime = 3; //The amount of time to add
var addtype = 'day'; //The time type.   Can be day, week, month, year.

var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'addDateAmount');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', cdt);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_addtime', addtime);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_addtype', addtype);
ajax.getXML(doSomething);


function doSomething(response){
       var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
       alert(answer);
}

Hi,

please check the following Blog very well done, it will give you the idea on how to achieve it easily:

Auto-populating and validating date fields

In details you should use the following script:

javascript:var cdt = new GlideDateTime();cdt.addDays(5);cdt.getDisplayValue();

If I have answered your question, please mark my response as correct so that others with the same question in the future can find it quickly and that it gets removed from the Unanswered list.

Thank you

Cheers

Cool, 

     If you are setting this for a form field in the native UI you can use a Dynamic Filter Option. Navigate to System Definition > Dynamic Filter Option and create a new record. 

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();gdt.addDays(5);gdt.getDisplayValue();

      After creating the filter option, navigate to the field definition and set the default value to use the Dynamic Filter Option, 

      If you are setting this in a Catalog Item Variable, in the Service portal,  you can set the default value as noted below:

javascript: var gdt = new GlideDateTime();gdt.addDays(5);gdt.getDisplayValue();

Thanks,
