    Hi Sreeekanth,

    Did a quick test on this. This script won't work for the new records as the createdon field will be blank/ null before the new records.

    You can use the updated version which will set the today's date from JavaScript if the form is create.

    Please also note that as we are getting today's date from JavaScript, it will return the date from the computer it is executing i.e. if you change your computers date then it will return day for that date.

    ---------------------------------

    function GetDay() {

       // Initialize with todays date

       var objDate = new Date();

       // Check the form type if its create

       if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() != 1) {

           objDate = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("createdon").getValue();

       }

       var intDay = objDate.getDay();

       var weekDay;

       switch (intDay) {

           case 0:

               weekDay = "Sunday";

               break;

           case 1:

               weekDay = "Monday";

               break;

           case 2:

               weekDay = "Tuesday";

               break;

           case 3:

               weekDay = "Wednesday";

               break;

           case 4:

               weekDay = "Thursday";

               break;

           case 5:

               weekDay = "Friday";

               break;

           case 6:

               weekDay = "Saturday";

               break;

       }

       alert(weekDay);

       Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_createdday").setValue(weekDay);

    }

    RE: Getting error

    Try also putting it on the form, its currently on the form.

    Also, test your script on existing record which already has createdon value to isolate the issue.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    The above error is because objDay is null. This could be because you have not added the createdon field on the form.
