JavaScript with Current Date

Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to enter data into a current field based on the selection of other fields. It was all working until I tried to enter in today's date. Now it is filling in the field before checking the conditions and for the date it says undefined. I get "Multifam_69_undefined.undefined.undefined_250_BRE_3" using the javascript below. All is correct other than where it should be the date and says undefined. Do you know where I am going wrong?

Hi,

Just curious, any reason for using Date.now(), instead of simply

var d=new Date(); //which will return current date and time object

I tried var d = new Date(); and I'm still getting an error. I've been trying all kinds of ways!

your assignment code should come under if so it should be like below

function PrintName()

{

var Vendor = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printvendor").getValue();

var BRE = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_bre").getText();

var Invoice = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_invoicetemplate").getText();

var Batch = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printbatch").getValue();

var Pages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfileofpages").getValue();

var Name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").getValue();

if (BRE != null && Invoice != null && Batch != null && Pages != null && Name == null) {

var d = Date.now();

var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();

var PrintDay = d.getDay();

var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();

if (Vendor == 100000001) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + BRE + "_" + Batch);

}

if (Vendor == 100000000) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "BillOnly" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

}

if (BRE == 100000000 && Vendor == 100000000) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

}

}

}

Do I have to use something like var d = setValue.new Date(); or var d = getValue.new date();?

You can simply use var d=new Date();

var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();

var PrintDay = d.getDay();

var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();

Hmm I'm still getting an error TypeError: d.getMonth is not a function at PrintName. I'm checking to make sure I have all the fields labeled correctly.

function PrintName()

{

var Vendor = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printvendor").getValue();

var BRE = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_bre").getText();

var Invoice = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_invoicetemplate").getText();

var Batch = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printbatch").getValue();

var Pages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfileofpages").getValue();

var Name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").getValue();

if (BRE != null && Invoice != null && Batch != null && Pages != null && Name == null) {

var d = Date.now();

var PrintMonth = d.getMonth();

var PrintDay = d.getDay();

var PrintYear = d.getFullYear();

if (Vendor == 100000001) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + Invoice + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Pages + "_" + BRE + "_" + Batch);

}

if (Vendor == 100000000 && BRE == 100000001) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + "BillOnly" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

}

if (BRE == 100000000 && Vendor == 100000000) {

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_printfilename").setValue( "Multifam" + "_" + PrintMonth + "." + PrintDay + "." + PrintYear + "_" + Invoice + "_" + Batch + "_" + Pages);

}

}

}

Hi ,

var d = Date.now(); will not work please replace with below.

var d = new Date();

This will also return current date time.

Hope this helps
