[is_12]

Hi Community,

On the Catalog form I have field start & end date.

Based on the start date need to get the day

 And also based on the start date, need to get the next 3months & 6months & 12months date

Can anyone help me with this

Thanks,

try this and it will take care of any date/time format

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }

    // Parse string to milliseconds
    var dateMS = getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_time_format);
    var newDT = new Date();
    newDT.setTime(dateMS);

    // Example: Add 3 months
    newDT.setMonth(newDT.getMonth() + 3);

    // If you want 6 or 12 months, just change the +3:
    // newDT.setMonth(newDT.getMonth() + 6); // For 6 months
    // newDT.setMonth(newDT.getMonth() + 12); // For 12 months

    var val = formatDate(newDT, g_user_date_time_format);
    alert(val);
}

Output:I added 3 months, enhance further

something like this in client script will help you

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
  if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
    return;
  }

  // Parse start date as JS date object
  var startDate = new Date(newValue);

  // Get day of the week (e.g., "Sunday", "Monday")
  var days = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];
  var dayName = days[startDate.getUTCDay()];
  g_form.setValue('u_day_of_week', dayName); // Replace 'u_day_of_week' with the field you want

  // Calculate Next 3, 6, and 12 Months Dates
  function addMonths(date, months) {
    var d = new Date(date);
    var day = d.getDate();
    d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + months);

    // Adjust if date overflows (e.g., April 31)
    if (d.getDate() < day) {
      d.setDate(0);
    }
    return d;
  }

  var date3 = addMonths(startDate, 3);
  var date6 = addMonths(startDate, 6);
  var date12 = addMonths(startDate, 12);

  // Format as yyyy-MM-dd (ServiceNow Date field format)
  function formatSNDate(d) {
    var mm = String(d.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
    var dd = String(d.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
    var yyyy = d.getFullYear();
    return yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd;
  }

  g_form.setValue('u_next_3_months', formatSNDate(date3));   // Replace with your catalog variable
  g_form.setValue('u_next_6_months', formatSNDate(date6));   // Replace with your catalog variable
  g_form.setValue('u_next_12_months', formatSNDate(date12)); // Replace with your catalog variable
}

I have tried to implement the based on the start date, need to get the next 3months & 6months & 12months date, but both of the code, which you guy's have given is getting the console javascript error on the portal.

    function addMonths(date, months) {

        alert('Hello7');

        var d = new Date(date);

        d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + months);

        return (

            d.getFullYear() +

            '-' +

            String(d.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0') +

            '-' +

            String(d.getDate()).padStart(2, '0')

        );

    }

    var next3 = addMonths(startDate, 3);

    var next6 = addMonths(startDate, 6);

    var next12 = addMonths(startDate, 12);

    //g_form.setValue('u_day_name', dayName);

    g_form.setValue('day_3', next3);

    alert('Hello22'+next3);

    g_form.setValue('day_6', next6);

    alert('Hello24'+next6);

    g_form.setValue('day_12', next12);

    alert('Hello26'+next12);

only first alert I'm getting post that I'm getting the error
