Hi @charan_1 ,

Based on your description I Assume you are trying to increment the Current Date with the selected choice value it might be Date in the numbers.

I can suggest you below steps to perform:

1] Write onChange client script for the choice field you are changing/selecting to increment the number of days to current date

2] Create script include and call from onChange script above to perform server side action

3] In script include you can pass the selected choice value as a parameter and return calculated date

4] You can used GlideDate API to add the selected number of days to current date. Below code might be helpful:

5] You can set the calculated value returned from script include to the current date field

g_form.setValue('curr_date_field',<value returned from Script include>);

Provided below URLs for GlideDate and Script Include for you reference

@charan_1 

you can achieve this with only client script OR with client script + GlideAjax

can you share what script did you try so far and what didn't work?
