[folusho]

Please see below:

    var gd = new GlideDate();
    gd.addDays(7);
    current.sys_created_on = gd;

    var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
    gdt.addDays(7);
    current.due_date = gdt;

Hello,

You can set its Default value to this:

javascript:gs.daysAgo(-7);

Important: replace the : part with an actual colon : character as shown in the screen shot:

To add +7 days to a catalog variable based on the RITM (Requested Item) created date, you'll typically use a Catalog Client Script and GlideAjax with a Script Include.

Script Include:

var RITMHelper = Class.create();
RITMHelper.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    getDueDatePlus7: function() {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
        if (gr.get(this.getParameter('sysparm_ritm'))) {
            var gdt = new GlideDateTime(gr.sys_created_on);
            gdt.addDays(7); // server-side method
            return gdt.getDate().toString(); // return only date part
        }
        return '';
    }
});

Client script:

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('RITMHelper');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getDueDatePlus7');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_ritm', g_form.getUniqueValue());
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {
        if (response) {
            g_form.setValue('u_due_date', response); // reaplace 'u_due_date' with actual variable name
        }
    });
}

Hope this helps!
