Posted on by NK Bhairi 244

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");

    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");
        }

    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 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,

    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.

    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.
