with JavaScript you can get only the client datetime, not the server one.

the code to add 5 hours is

var currentDate = new Date(); currentDate.setHours(currentDate.getHours()+5); Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field").setValue(currentDate);

Hi, I have two date time fields.

In the first field, if the date is set, then in the second date time field, the date should be automatically populated

with this format.

Field 1: 09/30/2016

Result of Field 2: 09/29/2017.

I have set the year but unable to set the Date.

So please help me with your suggestions.

Hi Dinesh,

Try setting the field by using the following:

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('nameOfDateTimeField').setValue(new Date());
