Using one field to calculate other fields

  • September 1, 2023

I have a form that if the user supplies the date, I want to add 5 days and populate other fields.

So, when the user puts an address in the Transaction date, it needs to add 5 day and autofill in the due date of HOADate and NoSPDS.  The code I have is giving me a syntax error 6 on Line 7.

    So, if I just want to use the original 5 days, I can change the +5 on the NoSPDS to +0?


    No, remove the second line of code altogether.  The "date" was changed once, it doesn't need to be changed again. 

     

    Like this:

     

    date.setDate(date.getDate() +5);
this.getField("HOADate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",date);
this.getField("NoSPDS").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",date);

    var date = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy",event.value);

    if(event.value ==""){

    this.getField("HOADate").value = "";

    this.getField(”NoSPDS”).value = "";}

     

    else {

    date.setDate(date.getDate() +5);

    this.getField("HOADate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",date);

    date.setDate(date.getDate() +5);

    this.getField("NoSPDS").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy",date);

    }

     

     

    This is the code I am using, it does not give me the error I was getting, but now does not return anything in the HOADate or the NoSPDS fields.
