Setting component value not working as expected

I have the following in the onChange event of the status field . I am attempting to do a partial update of the date_closed field but it is not working.

var stat = getComponent("status").getValue();
var currentTime = new Date()
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
var day = currentTime.getDate()
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
var dt = month + "/" + day + "/" + year
if(stat == "GREEN"){
getComponent("date_closed").setValue(dt);
}

Hi Stephen,

The same code which you posted was working fine and I get date in the field. Hopefully check the Partial Update which you added.

Thanks,

Vidhya Sri

Re: Setting component value not working as expected

I was able to make it work by changing the date_closed component to text instead of date/time. Is there anyway to work with a dat/time field?

Hi,

Its even working for Date/Time field. I tested now. Moreover you would have set partial update for a field. check in which event you set that. I even did customization of dates and it works perfect.

Thanks.
