How to Set the Default Value in Date Field on Catalog Item for 5 days out?

[Wendy Peterson]

I have a requirement that the user wants to set the value in a Date field to populate to today's date plus 5 days out. Any ideas on how to do this? It's just a date field I assume it's something in the default value that could achieve this I just ain't sure what??

Hi Wendy

This should work for you: javascript: var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gdt.addDays(5);gdt.getDate();

Hope it helps.

Thank you that was perfect - I just needed to add the AddDaysLocalTime() for some reason... Thanks so much

javascript: var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gdt.addDaysLocalTime(5);gdt.getDate();

Hi there,

Have a look at the addDays part in this Docs page:
https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=london&id=r_GDT-addDays_N

Use it within the Variable Default Value with javascript: new GlideDatetime().addDays(5) etc..

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark
