show current date and time on a field

[roomawakar]

Hi All, 

I have a requirement to show a field based on the another field. Two fields are : 

1. DLP Exception Granted of type (True/False)

2. Exception Granted date of type (date/time)

Now, the requirement is to show the field -"Exception Granted date" on the click of "DLP Exception Granted" and the second field should show the current date and time on the field.

The first part , i have achieved through UI Policy but unable to set the current date and time.

Can someone please help me out on setting the current date and time on the field -"Exception Granted date"?

Thanks,

Rooma

Hi @roomawakar,

You can use an onChange client script, this will take date and time from browser:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
  if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
    return;
  }
  if (newValue == 'true') {
    var now = new Date();
    var formatDate = now.getFullYear() + '-' +
                        String(now.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0') + '-' +
                        String(now.getDate()).padStart(2, '0') + ' ' +
                        String(now.getHours()).padStart(2, '0') + ':' +
                        String(now.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0') + ':' +
                        String(now.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0');
    
    g_form.setValue('u_exception_granted_date', formatDate);
  } else {
    g_form.setValue('u_exception_granted_date', '');
  }
}

It works.

There are same answers from different people in every other questions, so shouldn't be a surprise. I am not competing with you, you are there at the top. I get to learn from your answers. Just so happened that @Community Alums posted the solution too.
