Set default date on date field

[PrandeepSharma]

Hi,

I just created a new Date field that shows only when incident on hold. I am trying to set a default date using dictionaries default value, however none of the javascript GlideDateTime seem to work.

I just need to set the default value to be 6 days from current date. Please help

Hi @PrandeepSharma 

You can use a 'before' business rule to set the default value of the date. The BR should run when the state changes to on hold, then you can use the GlideDateTime() api to set the desired date. (in this case it would be 6 days after the current date time).

Hello @PrandeepSharma ,

Put this in the default value of the field dictionary

javascript:   var gdt = new GlideDateTime();gdt.addDays(6);gdt.getDate();

Note (instead of &colon use colon symbol)

BR,
Nayan

Hi I added javascript: var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gdt.addDays(6);gdt.getDate(); and after the field appears on the form is still blank

Hi @PrandeepSharma 

This should work for you: javascript: var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gdt.addDays(6);gdt.getDate();

Hope it helps.
