When you put a date field on a dynaform. One of the selections under behavior is to default the field to "TODAY". However, every day it defaults to the date the field was created on the form instead of "TODAY". When you open the calendar the text is blue for today but the selected date is not today in the box. Anyone else have this issue? Every date field I create does this. I have not changed any of the default settings execept for the field is required and the default is "Today".

Hi ToddD513,

In which version of ProcessMaker did this happen to you?, I've tested it on version 2.0.32 and I don't have any problems. I recommend you to check the xml code that generates. If you created some date and you don't change the devault values the xml code will be like follows:

type="date" relativedate="1" beforedate="0m" afterdate="1y" mask="%Y-%m-%d" editable="0" required="0" readonly="0" showtime="0" defaultvalue_sel="today" defaultvalue="today" mode="edit" btn_cancel="Cancel"

I you have the same problems maybe you can pass me the xml code of your date field to check.

Regards.

Hi,

we also experienced this problem and had to work around and just populate it onload of form with javascript todays date.

[ToddD513]

Figured out a workaround. When you select in the dropdown the default_sel = "today" but the default get set to the day your selected in "default" out of the dropdown. Every time I save the dropdown choice or change it the default field gets reset to the day I changed the dropdown.

-this is what happens when you change the dropdown to default.
<AOSDATE type="date" relativedate="1" beforedate="-4m" afterdate="1y" mask="%m-%d-%Y" editable="0" required="1" readonly="0" showtime="0" defaultvalue_sel="today" defaultvalue="2011-12-14" mode="edit" btn_cancel="Cancel" startdate="" enddate="" hint="" savelabel="0">

-if I go into the xml and change the value of "defaultvalue to "today" it works fine as long as I don't go back and change anything in the settings for the field.
<AOSDATE type="date" relativedate="1" beforedate="-4m" afterdate="1y" mask="%m-%d-%Y" editable="0" required="1" readonly="0" showtime="0" defaultvalue_sel="today" defaultvalue="today" mode="edit" btn_cancel="Cancel" startdate="" enddate="" hint="" savelabel="0">

</dtlevel1Personassignon>

Version 1.2??? Wow, its been 6 years since I last saw version 1.2. Glad to know that there are still people using ProcessMaker for that long ago!

You can create a trigger, which is set to execute before the DynaForm with the following code:

Code: Select all

@@dtlevel1Personassignon = getCurrentDate();

I have added it in Triggers and Even assign it to before trigger in task but it doesn't work.

Any other Way to do that?

[amosbatto]

Use this trigger code:

Code: Select all

@@dtlevel1Personassignon = date("Y-m-d");
@@dtlevel1Personassignon_label = date("Y-m-d");

Make sure to turn on Debug Mode, to make sure that the variables are set when your DynaForm is displayed.

As i was using the Field in Grid Layout. The following code Sets the default date to it.

@=Level1InvestigationNotes['1']['dtLevel1PersoneAssignedon'] = date("Y-m-d");

I would also like to know:What-if I pickup any other Date from Calendar, so how can that can be reflected in dtLevel1PersoneAssignedon.

[amosbatto]

In the trigger you can loop through the grid and set all the date fields to the same date.

Code: Select all

if (isset(@=Level1InvestigationNotes) and is_array(@=Level1InvestigationNotes)) {
   for ($i =1; $i <= count(@=Level1InvestigationNotes); $i++) {
      @=Level1InvestigationNotes[$i]['dtLevel1PersoneAssignedon'] = date("Y-m-d");
   }
}

If you want to set the default date when the user creates a new row in the grid, you need to use JavaScript. See:
