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);

        }

}

I think that message is coming because of invalid date formats.

system date format for user might be different than what you are using in script to set.

So system is considering it as invalid.

I would suggest not to change the date format via script. Instead train users to keep correct date format in their user profiles.
