populate textfields by datefield

[eugzl]

Hi All.

In my LiveCycle form 3 textfields and 1 datefield. I would like to populate textfields by value from datefield with display format "MM/DD". Each textfield will display date increased by 7 days. For instance, user will select date in datefield like 03/05/2018. In that case

textfield1 will display 03/12,

textfield2 will display 03/19,

textfield3 will display 03/26.

If that is possible. How do that? I will appreciate to detail explanation.

Thanks.

Hi,

Date calculations have alway been a bit of a pain to me, fortunately i have never had to do it much.

So when i got it working, i noted it down. It isnt quite what you are after, but will give you a starting point.

I have two text fields, Start_Date and End_Date.

In the Start_Date exit event (FormCalc) i have this:

form1.#subform[0].Start_Date::exit - (FormCalc, client)

var current = Date2Num(Start_Date.rawValue, "MM/DD/YY")

var future = current + 90

var newDate = Num2Date(future,"MM/DD/YY")

End_Date.rawValue = newDate

What is does is upon exiting the Start_Date field, the End_Date field gets a value which is 90 days into the future. Perhaps you can modify it for your needs.

Hi,

I am note sure that Javascript handles date calculations

When i have had to mix and match code, i put the code in a hidden button to separate the code and programmatically click it.

it is possible to calculate date fields with JS however it is much more complex. Stick with FormCalc for ease of use.
