[DivyaNarayG]

Hi,

We have a scenario when state changes to Assigned, the assigned date field should get update with current date time.

I am trying to on change client script with below script but it has update with incorrect format.

Please suggest.

if (newValue == '1')

       {

        g_form.setValue('assigned_date',Date.now());

       }

Hello Divya,

Could you try this :

if (newValue == '1')

       {

        var today_date = new Date();

        g_form.setValue('assigned_date', today_date);

       }

Hello @DivyaNarayG ,

Try using below

var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_format);
var strtDate = today_date_str;

Thanks,

Valmik Patil

try this if the field is date/time

if (newValue == '1') {
    var today_date = new Date();
    var today_date_time_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_time_format);
    g_form.setValue('assigned_date', today_date_time_str);
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi Ankur,

Thanku. But this sets the value in local timezone. How can we update the value with system timezone.
