Default date field from another date field on record producer

[Andre241]

Hello,

I have 2 variable date fields called "due_date" & "actual_review_due_date". I need "actual_review_due_date" to be auto-populated with "due_date" value when filled out. I also want actual_review_due_date field to be editable. Thank you.

1. Configure the two date fields as a variable in the record producer.
2. Create a Catalog Client script, with onChange type with the variable name being the due date.
3. Paste the following in the client script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

   g_form.setValue("actual_review_due_date", newValue);

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   
}

4. You should now have the actual review due date populate with the same value as the due_date. The actual review due date will be editable as well as we have not set it to read-only.

Please accept the solution and mark it as helpful, if this helped you resolve your issue.

Hi @Andre241,

I am assuming that you don't have to auto-populate the 'due_date' from the 'actual_review_due_date'.

If so, you can write an onChange Catalog Client script on the 'due_date' variable.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading) {
      return;
   }

   g_form.setValue('actual_review_due_date', newValue);
   
}

Cheers
