Attached is a form I want the deadline to always be the 5th of the upcoming month. e.g., if the current date is 27th of march, the deadline should always be one month ahead. but in this case, the day would always be 5th of the upcoming month. I hope this can be done!

Thanks in anticipation for a quick response.

I see you don't have field for deadline date, so create a field I named it "Deadline_Date" and add new document level script using this:

var month = util.scand("dd-mmm-yyyy", new Date());
month.setMonth(month.getMonth() +1);
var str = util.printd("dd mmmm, yyyy", month);
var newDate = "05"+str.slice(2);
this.getField("Deadline_Date").value = newDate;
