How do I get the Input value(date/time)and update a incident field with that value in a widget

[SD40]

When the user clicks the update button with the date/time, that value should update a field in the incident table.

Html........

<div>
<form>
<sp-date-picker name="mydata" sn-include-time=true field="c.fromDate" ng-model="c.fromDate.value" ></sp-date-picker>
<div class="m-t-lg">
<button class="btn btn-primary pull-right" ng-click="UpdateData()">
${Update}
</button>
</div>
</form>

</div>

Client side....

api.controller=function($scope) {
/* widget controller */
var c=this;
c.fromDate = {
displayValue: '',
value: c.data.mydata,
name: ''
};
$scope.UpdateData = function(){
c.server.update();
}
}

Server side

(function() {

// If input is submitted then grab any input values from input fields
// based on their names (name attribute on element)
// and update this case a record
if(input){
var inc1 = new GlideRecord('incident');
inc1.get(sys_id);
inc1.setValue('field_name', input.mydata);
inc1.update();
}
})();

Hello Ed,

Solution tested in a PDI!!


Change your client script by the following one:

api.controller=function($scope) {
	/* widget controller */
	var c=this;
	c.fromDate = {
		displayValue: '',
		value: c.data.myInput,
		name: ''
	};
	$scope.UpdateData = function(){
		var input = {};
		input.myInput = c.fromDate.value;
		c.server.get(input);
	}
}

Basically, I declared object "input" and instead of c.server.update() I used c.server.get(input).

It worked!
