Unable to get property 'getfullyear' of undefined or null reference...

Posted on by USA80 26

I have the following line: 

var year = CarrierStartDate.getFullYear();      

but when my form loads I get an error message that says, "Unable to get property 'getfullyear' of undefined or null reference"

Any ideas why?

    Here is more of the code:

           var CarrierStartDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_carrierstartdate").getValue();

    var year = CarrierStartDate.getFullYear();

    var month = CarrierStartDate.getMonth();

    var day = CarrierStartDate.getDate();

    var dateOnly = new Date(year,month,day);

    The error is because CarrierStartDate does not contain any value when you are trying to call the .getFullYear()

    1. Check if there is any value in your field when the form loads

    2. Check if "nhs_carrierstartdate" is 100% the correct fieldname

    3. Add an if statement to check if the field contains any value before trying to use that value

    Hi,

    In addition I am suspecting that the "CarrierStartDate" value has not  been converted to date object and its unable to get the "getFullYear" method from the value.

    So try to convert date object and then use "getFullYear" method. Here is sample code -

                var CarrierStartDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_dateFieldName").getValue();
            if(CarrierStartDate !=null && CarrierStartDate != undefined)
            {
                var DateValueWithFormat = new Date(CarrierStartDate); // Convert Date Object from value 
                var YearValue = DateValueWithFormat.getFullYear();  // Get Year Value
            }

    Here is your final code -

                var CarrierStartDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_carrierstartdate").getValue();
            if(CarrierStartDate !=null && CarrierStartDate != undefined)
            {
                var DateValueWithFormat = new Date(CarrierStartDate); // Convert Date Object
                var year = DateValueWithFormat.getFullYear();
                var month = DateValueWithFormat.getMonth() + 1; 
                var day = DateValueWithFormat.getDate();
                var dateOnly = new Date(year,month,day);
            }
