Autoset Date on Quick Create Form

Posted on by Jerry P. 225

Hello,

I am trying to set a date field on the Phone Call quick create form but I cannot get the onLoad to work for this as in the web based forms.  My code is

Is there a way I can get the onLoad event to work? It seems the onChange event is working.

Thanks

    I have something like this.

    function SetTodaysDateOnLoad(executionContext)

    {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

    if  (formContext .context.client.getClient() == "Mobile")// &&  Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext.getAttribute("scheduledend").getValue()== null) //commented out for eliminate this piece at this time

    {

    formContext .getAttribute("scheduledend").setValue(new Date()); //Sets today's date

    }

    //formContext .getAttribute("scheduledend").setValue(Date.now());

    }

    The event handler only has the onChange event option.

    Hi,

    if  (formContext .context.client.getClient() == "Mobile") <---

    you put the checking , when the client is using Mobile, then only go into your logic, if you wan to achieve in web based, put another checking or else statement.

    Futhermore, register this function in onload event too.

    Hello,

    I did have the additional client check ion there but removed it, How do I add the onLoad event for this?

    Hi,

    open your quick create form via customization, click form properties. Then you can see from there.

    Hi Jerry ,

    Ideally it  should work with setting new Date(). 

    However I would request you please try with this  -

    function SetTodaysDateOnLoad(executionContext)
{   
    var todaydate = new Date();
    var today = todaydate.getFullYear() + '/' + (todaydate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + todaydate.getDate();
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    if  (formContext.context.client.getClient() == "Mobile")
    {
        formContext.getAttribute("scheduledend").setValue(today); // You can also try to set directly todaydate
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something here if not mobile client 
    }
}

    Yes, that is where it was. I was looking under the event handler on the field properties and not the form properties.
