Hi,

you can "extract" the date components directly from the value.

You can use this code for example:

var dateFieldValue= Xrm.Page.getAttribute('datefieldname').getValue();
// create the yyyy-mm-dd string
var year = dateFieldValue.getFullYear()+"";
var month = (dateFieldValue.getMonth()+1)+"";
var day = dateFieldValue.getDate()+"";
var dateFormat = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;

With javascript you just need to create a new date a set to the field:

var dateFieldValue= Xrm.Page.getAttribute('datefieldname').getValue();
var year = dateFieldValue.getFullYear();
var month = dateFieldValue.getMonth();
var day = dateFieldValue.getDate();
var dateOnly = new Date(year,month,day);
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_datefield").setValue(dateOnly);

if you need to show the date as a string you need to add 1 to the month because in JavaScript the months starts from 0, if you need the date as datetime object you don't need to add

I am trying this script to get the value of the date only from a date and time field in CRM. I used this but it doesn't seem to work. When I use the Developer Tools the script breaks on startDate.getFullYear() + "";

Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?

var startDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_dateauthorized").getValue();
var year = startDate.getFullYear() + "";
var month = (startDate.getMonth() + 1) + "";
var day = startDate.getDate() + "";
var dateFormat = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_dateauthorized").setValue(dateFormat);
