Populating the date field

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,  I am trying to populate the "datefield" (cv58) when the "validated" field (cv55) is set to a specific string from the dropdown menu. I have used the following code in the change event of (cv55).    if (form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv55.rawValue == "Validated")      then form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv58.rawValue = num2date(date(), "YYYY-MM-DD") endif  if (form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv55.rawValue == "Pending" OR form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv55.rawValue == "Not Validated"      OR form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv55.rawValue == "null")      then form1.P1.client.variable_option_client.cv58.rawValue = "null" endif     This does not pupulate anything into my datefield.  I need the datefield to populate with today's date when (cv55) is set to "Validated" else it should not not set the date to anything.  Please help  Joey

Hi,

the rawValue is only applied when you exit the drop down box.

Use xfa.event.newText instead.
