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);
}
}
