Hello,
I searched for a solution for this, but I am unable to find anything that will work for me and I am wondering if anyone can help. I am trying to get a date in form auto-fill with the current date. I have figured out that using the FormCalc forumla: $.rawValue = num2date(date().DateFmt(3)). The problem I am facing is that the form saves with the current date, but when I save the form and reopen on a different day, the date changes. Is there a way to lock the current date in the field when it is opened on a different day?
I am also wondering if I can make the same sort of forumla for the current time. I also need this to not change when it is opened on a different day.
I am learning Javascript slowly so bear with me on the responses

Hi Justin,
you could use the following script in the form ready event in javascript:
var sDate = new Date();
this.rawValue = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy", sDate);
or
this.rawValue = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy", new Date());
hen you need another dae format you can change this:
this.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", new Date());
You could check if the field..if it's empty then insert a new date else do nothing.
if(this.rawValue == null)
{
this.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", new Date());
}else{}
Hope it will helps,
Mandy

Mandy,
Thank you for the reply. I attempted to try out all the codes, but nothing seems to populate the date. I am not sure if I am missing a step, but for some reason I cannot get it to work out. Any additional thoughts?

Hi Justin,
please take a look here https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=iO0y3fy7lz3bdLbxkg2ktA
My english is not so good I hope I understand your first question right.
You could insert a screenshot from your pdf (hierarchy and scripting) and I take a look.
Kind regards Mandy
