Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Assuming your field is Date & Time, following is sample JS code:

function setTimePart(executionContext) { const formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var reminderDateTime = formContext.getAttribute("new_remindat").getValue(); if (reminderDateTime) { reminderDateTime.setHours(10); reminderDateTime.setMinutes(30); // Sets time part to 10:30 formContext.getAttribute("new_remindat").setValue(reminderDateTime); } }

For more details on JS Time manipulation please refer to:

JavaScript setTime() Method (w3schools.com)

Thank you so much for the quick reply however the script generated the error below

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getFormContext' of undefined

I used the script exactly as you has it above with the only exception of changing the ("new_remindat") parts to be ("new_enddate") to match the field name on my form

I would appreciate anymore help you could offer.

Thanks

Hello again,

My mistake I forgot to tick the "pass execution context as first parameter" checking that allows the script to work.

Is it possible to use a similar script to add X hours to the date time filed in the same way?

Thanks
