Hello,
I'm working on a flowchart form for my work, and am having issues getting a date to a) add correctly and b) display only certain portions of the date.
I have four fields:
CurrentDate - Displays the Current Date in MM/DD/YYYY format
DropDownList1 - Contains a list of projects end users can choose from
TextField1 - Displays text that tells the end user how many days the proejct will take
DateField1 - Should add the CurrentDate + the Number of days the project will take and return a new date in the same MM/DD/YYYY format
*Disclaimer* - I am not very experienced with scripting, and chose to go with JavaScript as I do have some previous past experience.
Here is what I have for my code right now:
if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
var AddDate = (Date.valueOf(CurrentDate) + (2*1000*60*60*24));
DateField1.formattedValue = Date(AddDate);
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2){
TextField1.rawValue = "1 Day";
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 3){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 4){
TextField1.rawValue = "2 Days";
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 5){
TextField1.rawValue = "4 Days";
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 6){
TextField1.rawValue = "5 Days";
}
else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 7){
TextField1.rawValue = "4 Day";
}
The end result is that the TextField1 displays the correct day, but the DateField1 displays a long string of the exact time and date of... well, the time - so no adding takes place. What I need is for the date to be displayed as MM/DD/YYYY. What am I doing wrong? I've only added the calculation to the first "if" statement, and will continue on to the rest once it is functioning.
