Custom date field to auto-populate with current date?

Laci

I have a custom field for our review board that is a single select drop down menu with the options of "yes" or "no". If "no" is selected, nothing happens. However, if "yes" is chosen, we have a Reviewed Date field that appears with using behaviors on scriptrunner (we need this because you can't search on when custom fields were changed).

For that date selection field, I'd like to auto-populate with the current date when "yes" is selected. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming Reviewed Date is a Date Picker field, you can attach following Behaviour snippet to the field:

if (getFieldByName("yourSelectList").getValue() == "yes") {
  getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setFormValue(Calendar.getInstance().format("d/MMM/yy"))
} else {
  getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setFormValue(null)
}

This will set the current date on the field when option "yes" is selected and clear the value when option "no" is selected.

Unfortunately, this does not work. When I select "yes" in our drop down, it will not allow me to add a date and it doesn't add a date on its own either.

1. Did you change "yourSelectList" to the name of your select list?
2. Is your option value name "yes" or "Yes"?
3. What do you mean by it will not allow you to add a date?
4. Is Reviewed Date field a Date Picker field?

Can you post your original Behaviour script in text on how you make Reviewed Date field appears as well as the screenshots of the behaviour configurations?

Above snippet is for you to incorporate into the original Behaviour script.

The important part is how to set current date on a Date Picker field:

getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setFormValue(Calendar.getInstance().format("d/MMM/yy"))
