Question

I am trying to pull out a date from one field, modify that date and set that value into another, here is my code:

var startDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_startdate').getValue();
var expiryDate = startDate.getDate()+3; //Add 3 days

var expiryField = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_expirydate').setValue(expiryDate);

Can someone explain what I’m doing wrong? I’ve been at this for a while now and I fear I’m missing something blatently obvious..

Thanks in advance.

EDIT;

When the script fires, 1/1/1970 is set in the expiry field.

Answer 1

this should work

var startDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_startdate').getValue();
var expiryDate = new Date();
expiryDate.setDate(startDate.getDate()+3); //Add 3 days

var expiryField = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_expirydate').setValue(expiryDate);
