llDate format conversion

[Ashwin Perumal1]

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar 
I have used the script include from your previous blog  and client script for changing my date format on my catalog variable form for a date type field. The problem is that I am able to change date format as required but my on change client script keeps on changing the field value continuously on the form. Can you pls help on this. Thanks in advance

Script Include:

var testDateFormat = Class.create();

testDateFormat.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

convertDateFormat: function(){

var incomingDate = this.getParameter('sysparm_format');

var format = 'yyyy-MM-dd' ;

var gdt = new GlideDate();

gdt.setDisplayValue(incomingDate,format);

var gd = new GlideDate(); 

gd.setValue(gdt.getDate());

return gd.getByFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");

},

Client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

      return;

   }

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var userValue = g_form.getValue('start_date');

        var ga = new GlideAjax('testDateFormat');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'convertDateFormat');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_format', userValue);

        ga.getXML(result);

        function result(response) {

            var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer').toString();

            g_form.setValue('start_date', answer);

        }

}

When tried to submit the request on catalog form it shows an error message "The following fields contain invalid value: start date and end date". This error came after changing the date format.

@Ashwin Perumal1 

are you also changing the format for end date?

You might have to tweak the onSubmit script as well

Yes I want to change the format of end date also. So i created a separate client script for end date variable also.

@Ashwin Perumal1 

why not add validation on change of end date itself?

share your onSubmit script
