Show a field if Date/Time field is 'more than 12 hours' from nowDateTime?

[Josh80]

Hi - I am not that great at date/time scripts.

I am looking for a client script to compare a custom date/time field and if the date/time is more than 8 hours ago, I want to display a field.

Can someone help me out/provide guidance?

Thank you!

Hi Shishir

I did update it.   No dice; fields do not display...they remain hidden even when the field is changed.

I left both client scripts in place (onChange and onLoad).

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create();

MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

nowDateTime: function () {

var seconds = '28800'; //no Seconds in 8 hours

var opdt = this.getParameter('sysparm_dt');

var diff = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), opdt, true);

if(parseInt(diff) > parseInt(seconds))

return true;

else

return false;

}

});

On question: I did enter a date within 12 hours and the fields disappeared, but when I changed the date to outside 12 hours, the fields did not appear.

I think that's the expected behavior of the code, if issue start time is less the 12 hours then return from script include would be false and then the fields (u_why_is_issue_urgent and u_more_escalation_info) will be set to visible false (means disappear) and when start time is greater the 12 hours then return from script include would be true and then the fields (u_why_is_issue_urgent and u_more_escalation_info) will be set to visible true (means do not disappear)

if you want the field to disappear when it exceeds 8 hours and should not be hidden when it's with-in 8 hours then change the if condition in script include with below code and try.

if(parseInt(diff) < parseInt(seconds)) // diff should be less than 8 hours so that it will returns true to make the field visible else return false to hide the field

Hm I commented out my setting fields visible etc, and left in your

'Alert' lines of code.

It doesn't matter if the date is within 8 hours or exceeds 8 hours, I get

the 'Good to Go' alert prompt, regardless.

If I add 'else if' answer is false, then 'good to go' then no prompts are

displayed.

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

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

return;

}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var opdt = g_form.getValue('u_issue_start_time'); //Replace the date field

name accordingly

var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_dt', opdt);

ajax.getXML(ajaxResponse);

function ajaxResponse(serverResponse) {

var answer =

serverResponse.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

if(answer == 'true'){

//g_form.setVisible('u_why_is_issue_urgent', true);

//g_form.setVisible('u_more_escalation_info', true);

alert('Selected time is more than 12 hours');

}

else if(answer == 'false') {

//g_form.setVisible('u_why_is_issue_urgent', false);

//g_form.setVisible('u_more_escalation_info', false);

alert('Good to GO');

}

}

}
