Auto populate Current Date time in a field?

[naveenmyana]

Hello,

I have a requirement to autopopulate current date time a field when we click on a link in the notification, I am trying to generate the URL using below:

Click Here:  ${URI+&sysparm_begin=gs.nowDateTime()}   but this is just not giving me anything.

Any suggestions on how we can achieve this, Please share your thoughts on this one.

If you look at my script, it is generating the link based on this property

gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri')

In place of this, you replace with your URL correctly, then it will work.

I have used the below code and I am able to redirect to the correct page, but still it is not setting any value in the field:

template.print('<a href="' + gs.generateURL(current.getTableName(),current.sys_id) + '&sysparm_begin='+currDate+'">' + 'Click Here111' + '</a>');

Any suggestions here what is going wrong

Hello Asif,

I have got lucky this time and it is working fine now along with above mail script I have also written a client script below one to capture the parameters passing from notification and setting the value in field.

here is my script:

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var begin1 = getParmVal('sysparm_begin');
var end1 = getParmVal('sysparm_end');
if(begin1){
g_form.setValue('begin',begin1);
}
if(end1){
g_form.setValue('end',end1);
}
}

function getParmVal(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(top.location);
if (results == null) {
return "";
} else {
return unescape(results[1]);
}

}

Can you add alert statement and check if you are able to fetch the value or not.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var begin1 = getParmVal('sysparm_begin');
var end1 = getParmVal('sysparm_end');

alert(begin1);

alert(end1);
if(begin1){
g_form.setValue('begin',begin1);
}
if(end1){
g_form.setValue('end',end1);
}
}
