Client script

[Gangaiah Deepu]

If the variable is "Please select the start date from which the change should take effect (only full months from the 1st of a calendar month):" and type is "Date " then default value should be "1st of current month"
How to achieve this using client script

[Rob Sestito]

Hello,

If I am following your request correctly here, the client script may look something like this (be sure to make your changes for your actual field value):

function onLoad() {
    // Get current date
    var currentDate = new Date();
    
    // Set date to first day of current month
    currentDate.setDate(1);

    // Format date to yyyy-mm-dd
    var year = currentDate.getFullYear();
    var month = (currentDate.getMonth() + 1 < 10) ? '0' + (currentDate.getMonth() + 1) : currentDate.getMonth() + 1;
    var day = (currentDate.getDate() < 10) ? '0' + currentDate.getDate() : currentDate.getDate();
    var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + day;

    // Set default value for date field
    g_form.setValue('date_field_name', formattedDate);
}

Hope this helps get you going!

Thanks,

-Rob

HI @Gangaiah Deepu ,
I trust you are doing great.
Please find below code :

(function onLoad() {
    // Ensure this runs only on the form view
    if (g_form.isNewRecord()) {
        var today = new Date();
        var firstDayOfMonth = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), 1);
        
        // Format the date to YYYY-MM-DD for setting the date field value
        var formattedDate = firstDayOfMonth.toISOString().split('T')[0];
        
        // Replace 'your_date_field' with the actual field name
        g_form.setValue('your_date_field', formattedDate);
    }
})();
