Want a date field to be 5 days out from the date the request was opened?

[Cupcake]

I have a variable that is a date field. I want the date field to be 5 days out from the date the request was opened?

I've reviewed a SN Wiki article for Date/Time scripts, but after extensive reading of that article it didn't seem like any of the solutions worked so just trying to get some assistance.

Thanks,

Karen

Karen,

Are you talking about Service Catalog variable or a normal field?

Sorry I forgot to specify a Service Catalog variable.

Mani I am thinking something like: var myDate=new Date(); myDate.now.format(myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+5),("dd/mm/yyyy");

Karen,

Have a catalog client script such that :

var today = new Date();

var dateMS = today.getTime();

dateMS = dateMS + (5*24*60*60*1000);

var newDT = new Date();

newDT.setTime(dateMS);

g_form.setValue(<<variable_name>>,formatDate(newDT,g_user_date_format));
