Hi All,

I am receiving date in 18-Aug-2015 format.

I need to set this to one of the date field.

I tried with below code.

var dateData= new Date("18-Aug-2015");
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_definedDate").setValue(dateData);
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_definedDate").setSubmitMode("always");

RE: Set date field using javascript

actualDate= 01/30/2019;

var dateData = new Date(actualDate);

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("ab_setdate").setValue(dateData);

This is working fine in chrome.

But it is throwing date error in IE and Edge.

Error Message: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

When using

var dateData = new Date(actualDate);

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_inspected").setValue(dateData);

this is working fine in chrome browser and setting the date to the correct value.

But in IE and edge it is populating like above. when i am saving the record it is throwing me date error because of the leading zeros.

Hi partner,

You should set JavaScript date object to datetime field.

You could try :

var date1=new Date();

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_definedDate").setValue(date1);

And then check if it works.

I have tried in my instance and it worked well.

You could also refer to the following links.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo

Hi,

I am testing with below code. It worked without any problems.

function setDate()

{

var d = new Date("18-Aug-2015");

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_finaldate").setValue(d); // remember to change the schema name

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_finaldate").setSubmitMode("always"); // remember to change the schema name

}

Hi ,

Try with this -

function getdatetime() { var strDt = "18-Aug-2015"; // Set date value var dt = strDt.split('-'); var day = dt[0]; var month = dt[1].toLocaleLowerCase(); var year = dt[2]; if (month == "jan") month = 1; else if (month == "feb") month = 2; else if (month == "mar") month = 3; else if (month == "apr") month = 4; else if (month == "may") month = 5; else if (month == "jun") month = 6; else if (month == "jul") month = 7; else if (month == "aug") month = 8; else if (month == "sep") month = 9; else if (month == "oct") month = 10; else if (month == "nov") month = 11; else if (month == "dec") month = 12; var actualDate = month + "/" + day + "/" + year; var dateData = new Date(actualDate); Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_definedDate").setValue(dateData); Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("aaa_definedDate").setSubmitMode("always"); }
