Change date time value on control in form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I have a couple of controls in a form with DateTime type. On the init of the form, I am trying to change one of the values to a specific value,  however, it is not updating. String controls work fine.

datetime = datetime2str(element.formatDateTimeToday());
Registration_StartRegistrationDateTime.setUTCString(datetime);


I have also tried using this, but it did not work either,

Registration_StartRegistrationDateTime.dateTimeValue(*UTCDATETIME*);


Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Additionally, I have another issue, when i select a control to edit (upon click), all the other controls are also updated with the same value.

Thanks,

Matthew

    Hi Matthew Calleja,

    If controls are bound to data source fields you need to change field value instead of control value.

    If controls are not bound code like:

    Registration_StartRegistrationDateTime.dateTimeValue(DateTimeUtil::utcNow());

    should work without any issues.

    Regarding your second question you can have such behaviour if multiple controls are bound to same data source filed, in this case value change in one control will change it in all.
