Pupulating of the date field to the top of the opening of the document

Hello

Have a 6 page doc.  some pages contain date, but with different field names field.  On the first page I want to check if the date is null then fill it with the current date, and then copy the date populated to other pages... If the document has been record and reopened the latter I want the first populated date to be kept because it was populated for the first time.

First date field 'TodaysDate' is open for date fields to update on other pages are read-only.

Date field named first page: TodaysDate.

and the following code is executed as soon as the doc. under the tool/JavaScript/Document JavaScripts:

function populate_date (doc)

{

var f = this.getField ("TodaysDate");

If (! f.value) f.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());

}

populate_date (this); call my function

Problem I do not get filled at all... and it's the screenshot that I receive via Consul:

no idea what could be the problem?

Kind regards

Assuming that the TodaysDate field exists, you encounter a timing problem.

At the time, that the function is executed, the fields have not yet established. This is quite common with MultiPage forms.

Therefore, you can define the function in a script at the level of the document, but you'll call in the event PageOpen of the page on which the document opens. You can protect it, so that it runs only once.

On the function, I have my doubts that it works, because test you if the value of the field is. It is always the case. Instead of test if the value of the field is equal to the field's defaultValue. The function would then look like this:

function populateDate()

{

If (this.getField("TodaysDate").value is {this.getField("TodaysDate").defaultValue})

this.getField("TodaysDate").value = util.printd ("dd/mm/yyyy", new Date();)

}

}

As stated, it is not even necessary to set the function, simply run the code in the event pageOpen.

I hope this can help.

  • Date fields and time to autopopulate when opening the PDF

    I have an interactive PDF form with many fields. Two of them are the date and time. Users want that date fields and the time to complete the form to the current date and time (let's call it 'generic form') is open to fill. When they are made by filling out the form, they need to be activated for the reader so they can save it under a different name (Information of Dave). If they reopen "Information of Dave" for some reason, the date and time must not change. If they open the generic form for another client, then the new date and time should appear. I saw a discussion for Javascript to auto to a date, but not an hour. My Javascript skills are limited, so be specific enough about where to put the code.

  • Unable to save the 'Release Date' field in iTunes/Windows 12.4.0.119

    Unable to save the 'Release Date' field in iTunes/Windows 12.4.0.119

    I've just updated to 12.4.0.119 and can no longer add Release Date for a TV show.  When I go to "Get Info" and type the release Date, it allows me to enter a valid date, but as soon as I have the label off the field it emerges by itself.  If I enter the date and click on 'Ok', the date is not recorded.

    I had this same problem Windows 10. Just tested it on iTunes/Mac 12.4.0.119 - this platform will not yet you allow to select the release Date field to make an entry.

    It is a major issue, as AppleTV allow no sorting replacing television programs other than by Release Date.

  • Move focus horizontally in the date field

    Hello world

    Date field the focus moves by the movement of the trackball vertical by default. I'm doing it in horizontal also using STATUS_MOVE_FOCUS_HORIZONTALLY during initialization datefield. It does not work.

    I tried to datefield navigationMovement substitution, which helps not or can I not move horizontally within this function.

    It works if I substitute navigationMovement of screen, but I can't find a way to move the focus in the field date when this happens.

    Any help or suggestion on this would be greatly appreciated.

    You will not be able to do. The DateField has a method getSubField, but not setSubField, it is managed internally.
    If you really need, I suggest you re - implement it with the functionality you need, should not be too difficult, however need some coach.

  • Search in the af Date field: table does not

    Hello

    12.1.3 Jdev

    In my application, there are 6 pages. 3 of them have table with search and sort active areas. All parts of the table have the date field.

    When the page is loaded, the search for the Date field does not work (no popup the calendar will). When all action happens on the page, the search option is missing for the date field.

    When the page loads:

    1.JPG

    When you press on enter in the search field in the Date column:

    2.JPG

    Interestingly, this is one of those 3 pages has a tabbed region. This problem occurs only in the first tab, same functionality in other tabs work fine.

    I have tried to create another project and tried to reproduce the problem. But not able to replicate.

    What could be the problem?  I don't know what to check?

    I tried to create a new page without using the customTemplate and just tried to add not only one table. That also had the same problem.

    Let me know if I need to provide any other details.

    See you soon

    You can try to remove facets TestDate column filter and see if that makes a difference.

  • Help with a script for the date field

    Is this possible when the display of a date field is not also: date {EEEE, MMMM D, YYYY}

    then

    Message: "Please select a date from the calendar to the date.

    Thank you

    I thought the event output, if you change the this.rawValue to xfa.event.change, you can try to use the calculate... event, which would mean that they get the message earlier.

    Anyway they will always be able to cut-and - paste a date if it is in the correct format.
