Setting MM/dd date with Java

Hello,

I have been searching through forums trying to find scripting to work for me, but I cannot seems to get anything to work (this could very well be due to my own inexperience/ignorance).

We have a "Policies" entity showing existing policies for our customers. Within this entity there is a "Policy Date" field and a "Policy Date (mm/dd)" field. The "Policy Date" field is a date only field, the "Policy Date (mm/dd)" is a text field. I would like to show the Month and Day from the "Policy Date" field within the "Policy Date (mm/dd)" field, to help with sorting in the "Policies" entity view--we just need to see month and day within the view.

The screenshot shows the "Policy Date" field but once this JS is working, that field will be removed from the view and it will only show the "Policy Date (mm/dd)".

Below is my current script that I have added as a Web Resource.

function newPolicyDate (executionContext){

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var policyDate = formContext.getAttribute("cr1d9_policydate").getValue();

var month = policyDate.getMonth();

var day = policyDate.getDate();

var newPolicyDate = month + "/" + day

if(formContext.getAttribute("cr1d9_policydatemmdd").getValue() == null){

formContext.getAttribute("cr19d_policydatemmdd").setValue(newPolicyDate)

}

If this could be set up to be automatic, that is preferred (that way I do not have to go into each separate record and update it, or have it done OnChange).

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!
