Javascript Set Default Date in 90 days

Posted on by ChrisJC 1,540

I have 4 fields that I'd like to set a default date for so decided to use javascript rather than 4 business rules.

My javascript is giving the error "nowDate.getDate is not a function at SetDefaultDates"

My javascript:

function SetDefaultDates() {
    console.log("Set Default Dates");
    console.log("End Dates: now + 90 days");
    var daysToAdd = 90;
    var nowDate = Date.now();
    console.log(nowDate);
    var endDate = new Date().setDate(nowDate.getDate() + daysToAdd);
    console.log(endDate);
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingstartdate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingstartdate").setValue(Date.now());
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingenddate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingenddate").setValue(endDate);
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licencestartdate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licencestartdate").setValue(Date.now());
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licenceenddate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licenceenddate").setValue(endDate);
}


What is the best way to resolve this? This is CRM Online 8.2 currently.

    Hello Try to use following code:

    function SetDefaultDates() {
    console.log("Set Default Dates");
    console.log("End Dates: now + 90 days");
    var daysToAdd = 90;
    var nowDate = new Date();
    console.log(nowDate);
    nowDate.setDate(nowDate.getDate() + daysToAdd);
    console.log(endDate);
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingstartdate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingstartdate").setValue(Date.now());
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingenddate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_billingenddate").setValue(nowDate);
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licencestartdate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licencestartdate").setValue(Date.now());
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licenceenddate").getValue() == null)
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("cld_licenceenddate").setValue(nowDate);
}
