Hi,
I have a requirement where a custom Date and Time field needs to be populated with the current user date and time on click of the field instead of user manually selecting the date and time.
Using Calculated field with Action Now() leads to the field being populated on form load and that is not what I'm looking for as the field on click triggers a different function. Is there any way I can achieve this?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Rupal
You mean when Calculated field populate your field value then on change event does not trigger which cause javascript associated to onchange on that filed not gets executed. Correct?
Can you try using Business Rule to set current date and time instead of using Calculated field.
Hi partner,
You can also try using workflow or js to populate date time automatically.
1.workflow.
Create an on-demand workflow and populate date field with dynamics value--Execution Time.
2.Js.
function updateDateField(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var date = formContext.getAttribute("new_date"); var currentDateTime = new Date(); date.setValue(currentDateTime); }
