Client Script to look for everything created after a certain date

[Stacy1]

I have a client script where I only want to set the fields to mandatory if the item was created after 6-2017-06-02 23:59:59.

It's not working, can I not do a basic greater than script?   My alert comes up empty??? 😞

function onLoad() {

    }

var cdt = g_form.getValue('sys_created_on');

alert ("date created is " + cdt);

if   (cdt>('2017-06-02','23:59:59')){

Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Stacy,

Unfortunately   No ..

You can not simply use client side > operator as the date and time format display format is dependent on user preference.

Some one can use a format of yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm: ss others can have yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

you could do date and time format conversions at client side and then can attempt tying using the > operator, but here comes another chaos in the form of

dd-mm-yyyy.

for example, 02-06-2012, 02-07-2011 dates. String comparison goes letter by letter from left side and so system would think 02-07-2011 greater than 02-06-2012 ugh!!!!..

So, you might want to go with server side comparison as date and time objects as pradeepksharma suggested, I have just added below bit (bold)to his code

if (g_scratchpad.mand && g_scratchpad.mand== 'true' )

      {

  g_form.setMandatory('fieldname',true);

}
