Set default time on a date/time field

booher04 · ‎06-08-2018

Hello - is there an easy way to set a default time on the date/time field variable? We have a need for the date picker to default to 8:00am EST when you open the calendar to pick the date/time.

I got it working using below script

function onLoad() {
	var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');
	ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');
	ajax.getXML(function () {
		var test = ajax.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){
			var response = JSON.parse(answer);
			//alert(response.datetime);
			g_form.setValue('date_time_deployment', response.datetime);
		});
	});
}

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create();
MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

	nowDateTime: function () {
		var Date = new GlideDate(); 
		var datetime = (Date + ' 08:00:00');
		var response = {};
		response.datetime = datetime;
		return JSON.stringify(response);
	},
	type: 'MyDateTimeAjax'
});

Do you have client script that has ui type set to All.

Right now it's set to Desktop, not All.

you need to set it to all so it works on both. (portal and desktop)

also try

var date = ajax.getAnswer() + ' 08:00:00';

g_form.setValue('date_time_deployment', date);

I removed the other script and added this.. it didn't work either.
