Dynamic Date population in the Set Field Values in the Automated Test Framework (ATF)

[vishalk]

Greetings.  I am trying to do something similar.  I have a catalog item that I want to populate the "required by" date field with a date always a week from today.  I added a script include:  

var myDatePicker = Class.create();
myDatePicker.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
    },

	// pass in the number of days in the future
	// usage: javascript:new myDatePicker().getFutureDate(3);
	// the above will set your date to 3 days in the future
	getFutureDate : function(futureDate) {
		
		var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

		gdt = gdt.addDaysLocalTime(futureDate);

		
		return gdt.getDate();
	},

    type: 'myDatePicker'
};

But it doesn't seem to be setting the date.  When I set a validation step looking for 11/22 it's failing.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

So you want to set future date and that too 7 days from today; you can use this and it will work

javascript: gs.daysAgo(-7)

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

when run this in script background it will run but when you put this in ATF then in wont give any result ...

I tried wrting script include and calling that in ATF , but no luck , with quotes or without quotes it wont work ..

Hi Vishal,

the below worked for me

javascript: gs.daysAgo(-7)

screenshot below; when I run it sets date to 7 days in future i.e. 11th May
