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,

Mani two things:

1) It is rendering this way on the form, and 2) i tried selecting any date in it allowed it so I don't think it is calculating correctly

Karen,

The script should be:

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('ftr_needed_by',formatDate(newDT,g_user_date_format));

That is what I have.

Please fix this from your code:

g_form.setValue('ftr_needed_by',formatDate(newDT,g_user_date_format)); in quotes

This was perfect. I forgot to include the quotes around my variable name.
Much appreciated Rahuljain and Mani
