Time Zone Onload Script

[cpinedatx94]

Im attempting to make a Client script which takes a current time field and a time zone choice field and than auto calculates thats to Eastern time and plugs it into a field for me. This is what it currently looks like but its not wanting to work

Could i please get some assistance. Thanks.

function onChange() {
    // Get the inputted time and time zone values
    var inputTime = g_form.getValue('u_ssa_install_time');
    var inputTimeZone = g_form.getValue('u_time_zone_kiosk');
    var hour = parseInt(inputTime.slice(0, 2)); // Parse the hour to an integer
    var timeOfDay = inputTime.slice(inputTime.length - 2); // Get AM or PM
    var timeOffset = 0; // Initialize time offset

    // Check if both input fields have values
    if (hour && inputTimeZone) {
        // Assign time offset based on selected time zone
        if (inputTimeZone == 'Atlantic') {
            timeOffset = 1;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Eastern') {
            timeOffset = 0;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Central') {
            timeOffset = -1;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Mountain') {
            timeOffset = -2;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Pacific') {
            timeOffset = -3;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Alaska') {
            timeOffset = -4;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == 'Hawaii') {
            timeOffset = -5;
        }

        // Calculate Eastern Time
        var easternHour = hour + timeOffset;

        // Adjust hour and time of day if needed
        if (easternHour >= 12) {
            timeOfDay = 'PM';
            if (easternHour > 12) {
                easternHour -= 12;
            }
        } else if (easternHour < 0) {
            timeOfDay = 'AM';
            easternHour += 12;
        }

        // Set the value of the fields to display the calculated Eastern Time
        g_form.setValue('u_eastern_time', easternHour.toString().padStart(2, '0') + timeOfDay);
    }
}

Hi @cpinedatx94  please share the input values (from input fields) and the error you are receiving.

Hi, what Part is not working?
To get the Values and add the Hours or to Set the Value?
Do you get a Message in the Browser Consol?

I need that "Local Install Time" + "Timezone" = Correct Eastern Time.

@cpinedatx94 Please try the following script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    //alert(newValue);
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    // Get the inputted time and time zone values
    var inputTime = g_form.getValue('u_ssa_install_time');
    var inputTimeZone = g_form.getValue('u_time_zone_kiosk');
    var hour = parseInt(inputTime.slice(0, 2)); // Parse the hour to an integer
    var timeOfDay = inputTime.slice(inputTime.length - 2); // Get AM or PM
    var timeOffset = 0; // Initialize time offset
    alert(timeOffset);
    // Check if both input fields have values
    if (hour && inputTimeZone) {
        // Assign time offset based on selected time zone
        if (inputTimeZone == "atlantic") {
            timeOffset = 1;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "eastern") {
            timeOffset = 0;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "central") {
            timeOffset = -1;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "mountain") {
            timeOffset = -2;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "pacific") {
            timeOffset = -3;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "alaska") {
            timeOffset = -4;
        } else if (inputTimeZone == "hawaii") {
            timeOffset = -5;
        }
        // Calculate Eastern Time
        var easternHour = hour + timeOffset;
        alert("\n" + hour + " " + easternHour);
        // Adjust hour and time of day if needed
        if (easternHour >= 12) {
            timeOfDay = "PM";
            if (easternHour > 12) {
                easternHour -= 12;
            }
        } else if (easternHour < 0) {
            timeOfDay = "AM";
            easternHour += 12;
        }
        alert("test" + easternHour.toString().padStart("00:00:00", '0') + timeOfDay);
        // Set the value of the fields to display the calculated Eastern Time
        //g_form.setValue('u_eastern_time', easternHour.toString().padStart(2, '0') + timeOfDay);
        //g_form.setValue('u_eastern_time', "11:00:00 AM");
        if (easternHour.toString().length == 1) {
            easternHour = '0' + easternHour;
        }
        var finalTime = easternHour.toString() + ':00:00 ' + timeOfDay;
        alert('final ' + finalTime);
        g_form.setValue('u_eastern_time', finalTime);
    }
