Posted on by Xmejni 15

Hi 

How does one set a datetime field in JS for UCII?

The standard formContext.getAttribute("xxx").setValue(new Date()); doesn't seem to work anymore throwing a 

Value should be of type: DateTime: Parameter Name: undefined

I have tried setting to UTC but to no avail. Any ideas? 

Thanks

    Try this

    //Add today's date

    var today = new Date();

                           formContext.getAttribute("new_assigntoengineeron").setValue(today);
