Script to carry date from one variable to another

[Darlene York]

Hello,

I am trying to do a script that says if the audit source is external then carry over the requested completion date over to the negotiated completion date.  But my script is not working.

Any assistance is appreciated.

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

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    // Check if the audit_source value is "External"

    if (newValue == 'External') {

        var requested_completion_date = g_form.getValue('requested_completion_date');

        if (requested_completion_date) {

            g_form.setValue('negotiated_completion_date', requested_completion_date);

        }

    }

}

Hi @Darlene York ,

Try:

var start_date = getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_format);
start_date.addDays(-3);
g_form.setValue('the_other_date_field', start_date);

So with this, you can use an onChange client script, choose the field as the start date, then just change "the_other_date_field" to the name of the other date field and it should do the rest.
