Hello,

 

I want to set today to Date column with client script.
I understand that I can set it with javascript: new GlideDateTime().getDate() in default value.
But, it needs to set today, only when the value of other column is changed.
So I think that I need to use client script.
How I can set it with client script ?

 

Regards,

Hi @matsui ,

 

You can use onChange client script. Here, I have set "Today's Date" on change of priority. 

 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_format);
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (oldValue != newValue) {
g_form.setValue('u_todays_date', today_date_str);
}
}

Hi @matsui ,

 

U can use a onChange script to call a script include using GlideAjax n return today's date using new GlideDateTime as it does not work in client side.

 

Thanks,

Danish

Hi @matsui ,

 

Script Include: Please provide snc_internal role when asked for which role can access the script after submitting the script

 

var SetDate = Class.create();
SetDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    fetchDate: function() {

        var date =  new GlideDateTime().getDate();
		return date;
		
    },
    type: 'SetDate'
});

 

 

Client Script: OnChange 

UI Type : All

Select proper variable name on change of which u wish to trigger this script.

 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }


    var ga = new GlideAjax('SetDate');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'fetchDate');
    ga.getXML(respond);

    function respond(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        g_form.setValue('date_field', answer);// replace proper backend name of your variable

    }

}

 

 

Thanks,

Danish
