Auto populate date field in form

Hi
I have been trying to get a field in a form to automatically populate with todays date. I have got a script which defines the default value for the field as: document.dform.currentdate.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
where dform is the name of the form, and currentdate is the name of the field.
This works fine.
But I am using the form to populate another program, and the field name must be 00N20000001QbHo
I assumed therefore that I should use: document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
But this does not work. In Dreamweaver the .00 appear red.
I suspect that I need to put 00N20000001QbHo in parentheses or something similar.
Can anyone help a newbie who doesn't know what he is doing? Full script below
<form name="dform">
<input type="text" name="00N20000001QbHo" size=11>
</form>
<script>
var mydate=new Date()
var theyear=mydate.getYear()
if (theyear < 1000)
theyear+=1900
var theday=mydate.getDay()
var themonth=mydate.getMonth()+1
if (themonth<10)
themonth="0"+themonth
var theday=mydate.getDate()
if (theday<10)
theday="0"+theday
var displayfirst=themonth
var displaysecond=theday
var displaythird=theyear
document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
</script>

Auto populate date field

I have a JavaScript that I use to auto populate date fields. However, I've discovered that it doesn't work when the form is opened on an iPhone or Android phone. Is there a way to auto-populate a date field without using JavaScript?

What app on the iPad are you using.
Different apps on mobile devices have varying degrees of JavaScript compatibility.

LiveCycle ES2 - Auto Populate Date field when signed

Good afternoon,
I've got a signature field called "sgnPOC" and a date field called "sgnPOCDate" I'd like to have the date field filled in automatically when the sgnPOC is digitally signed.
I added the following to the postSign* event to sgnPOC.
FORM.Main.sgnPOCDate.rawValue = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
and different variations including setting the date to yyyymmdd and like. It just won't auto populate. It passes the script check in the script editor.
any ideas?
Thank you.

Thank you,
I tried the following - to no success.
FORM.Main.sgnPOC::postSign - (JavaScript, client)
var myDate=date()
FORM.Main.sgnPOCDate.rawValue = Num2Date(myDate, "YYYY-MM-DD")
I also tried this
FORM.Main.sgnPOC::postSign - (JavaScript, client)
var myDate=date()
$.rawValue = Num2Date(myDate, "YYYY-MM-DD")
Which also did not work, but wouldn't that need to know where to put the date?

Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010

In Anne Stenberg's Blog from 2 Nov 2011 3:00 PM "How to Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010" she artfully steps through how to create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data. It works but... Jason, another user,
wrote whenever the form is opened again either to view or edit, it displays the current users information instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.
Anne's response was "Hi Jason - I had forgotten I had that problem, too. Change the Form Load rule's condition to
DisplayName is blank and that should work."
My problem is I can't find anything other than AccountName in "Select a Field or Group" [GetUserProfileByName (Secondary)] to use in the Condition statement that will correct the problem.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I recommend to add one more condition in Form Load to make the form not be populated with current user’s information (You can change Title to another column which should not be blank when users create a new item).
Best regards,
Victoria

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

Auto populate text field base on anothe r text field input

ive created a medical form that the end user enters codes for medical reasons and a description for that code. the description are very long and tedious. is there a way to have the user enter the code in one field and have it auto populate another field with the correct description?
I was able to do this with a combo box but not with a standard text box. please note, i have never learned javascript and have been ""duct taping" peices of code to make things work up until now . appreciate the help

The advantage of the combo box is the automatic validation of the input as the selection is made.
You can use control statements like the "if" or "switch" statement or perform an array lookup. This action can be performed in the on blur action of the input filed or in the calculation script for the target field.

any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking to Auto-populate address fields after selecting a name from a drop-down. iPad compatability not required. Most of my users will be using Acrobat Pro or Reader on a PC. I'm generating the files on Mac Abrobat X Pro.
Is there an updated tutorial link someone knows about by chance? The above link no longer has a tutorial on it that I can see.
Or, if anyone can direct me to a javascript or something that I can modify with my data list, that'd be great! I've been looking all over the place, and have been struggling to find something that looks like it would work the way I want it to. I need the data list to be self-contained inside the pdf doc, not sourced from an outside database.
Thanks a bunch!

Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
0-8: Non-Performer
9-16: Low Performer
17-24: Performer
25-32: High Performer
33-40: Exceptional Performer
DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
// Custom calculation script for text field
(function () {
    var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
    // Blank this field if input is blank
    if (!s) {
        event.value = "";
        return;
    // Convert string to number
    var v = +s;
    // Set this field's value based on the input
    if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
        event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
        event.value = "High Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
        event.value = "Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
        event.value = "Low Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
        event.value = "Non-Performer";
        return;
    // If none of the above fit, blank this field
    event.value = "";

Populate a field in Forms with a blob

I am trying to populate a field in Forms using a blob from an Oracle database. When we try to run the query to reference the field we get an error that states this cannot be done in this context. Is there a way to accomplish this.
Thank you.

You would have to preform the calculation within the sql query. Here is an example of a computed field in a query:
SELECT HOURS,
PAY_RATE,
PAY_RATE * HOURS "CALCULATED_FIELD"

Forms 11g auto-complete date field

Hi,
In forms60 we had a few registry keys that made it possible for the end user to type in parts of a date and have it auto-completed.
Example :
The user wants to type in 20/10/2010 but merely had to type in 20<ENTER>
This worked in forms60, is there a way to achieve this in forms 11g?
Thank you
PS: I have already tried
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
FORMS_OUTPUT_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
FORMS_USER_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
In default.env with no luck.

Dear Christian, yes I am certain.
I just investigated it a little more and it appears it all depends on the following registry keys :
HKLM\Software\Oracle\forms60_user_date_format which has value : ddmmyyyy|ddmm|dd|dd/mm/yy|ddmmyy|dd/mm|dd/mm/yyyy
HKLM\Software\Oracle\forms60_user_datetime_format which has value : ddmmyyyyhh24mi|ddmmyyyy hh24mi|dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi|ddmm hh24mi|ddhh24mi|dd hh24mi|ddmmhh24mi|ddmmyyyyhh24mi
These appear to define in what formats a user can input a date.
The one I was talking about appears to be about the *|dd|* which would imply the user can input the day and the rest will be autocompleted.
I did find another thread about this issue, but it is for 10g and they never really found out the whys and hows...

How to auto-populate dates in a calendar based on radio buttons?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an availability form that is submitted on a monthly basis. What I'd like is to have a radio button the user could click to indicate what day the first of the month falls on (Monday through Sunday), and have fields auto-populate with the remainder of the dates on the calendar. As it stands right now, I've got the radio buttons and the text fields, but I'm running into serious issues getting the text fields to auto-fill based on the selected radio button.
I've labelled the radio button group "First Day of Month" and the individual values are "Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday" "Sunday" and "Start". The "Start" button is hidden but is checked by default.
My text fields are even simpler: "Monday 1" "Monday 2" "Monday 3" "Monday 4" and "Monday 5" (and then, obviously, repeated for each day of the week.
I am horrible at scripting, so I think that might be where I'm running into issues. What I'd like to put is something like this (only, you know, functional, and for each days' text value):
For "Monday 1"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Monday 1.value" ="1"
else "Monday 1.value" = ""
For "Wednesday 3"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "11"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "17"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Tuesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "16"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Wednesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "15"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Thursday", "Wednesday 3" = "14"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "13"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "12"
else "Wednesday 3.value" = ""
For "Sunday 5"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Sunday 5.value" = "29"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Sunday 5.value" = "31"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Sunday 5.value" = "30"
else "Sunday 5.value" = ""
Is this possible? I have no doubt there's a better way to do it (with proper coding and everything), so any help would definitely be appreciated!

Hello,
Which sharepoint edition you are using? I would prefer to customize your list form in infopath form then add new connection which will connect to your SQL. Later you can filter data based on cust ID. Here is the link to add connection in infopath:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/infopath-help/add-a-data-connection-to-a-microsoft-sql-server-database-HP010092823.aspx
If you want to do it via code then simple ADO.NET connector will help.

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:

Auto populate for fields in ZTable

Hi
I created a Z Table with 10 Fields,Out of those 2 fields are timestamp and Created by.
Timestamp and Created by are made Output only fields in Table Maintenance Generator
SE11> ZTable>Table Maintenance Generator>Environment>Modifications-->Events
Type -5 concatenate sy-datum sy-uzeit into ZTable-Timestamp.
With which when user performs a manual posting in the table and save a record in SM30 the Timestamp is populated automatically.
Similar to these how can i Auto Populate the Created By with the user id (logon id) of the user who made the posting.
I tried to create a new event of type-5 - System is not allowing me to create a event another event of same time
How can i enhance the exisisting event so that i can get Auto Populate of Created By
Thanks in advance

Hi friend,
Put your code which populate user name inside form of event 5 (maybe below your existence code).

Auto-populate of SHELL_shellName_shell Upper form DE only functions in one single-instance project shell. The DE in the BP Upper Form needs to auto-populate in two separate single-instance shells. How can I get this DE to autopopulate in both?

The Unifier environment
contains two single-instance project shells, INF and PBS, and two multiple-instance child project shells, INFS and
PB. There is a single instance, non-workflow
business process, ‘Project Information’ that contains a data element in the
upper form definition, Project ID. The Project ID is set to auto-populate from the multi-instance “INFS”
project shell attribute, which is populated manually.
Issue: The auto-populate functionality for the
Project ID ‘Shell_shellName_shell’ data element within the single-instance
Project Information BP only functions within one of the shells, either
INFS or PB, but not both. The INF and INFS shells are currently deployed
to production, PB and PBS shell are not.
It is critical that Project ID ‘Shell_shellname_shell’ data element is populated correctly in the
Project Information upper form of both shells, INFS and PB,
because that data element is referenced by multiple business processes and
integrations.
The attribute form definitions for both single and multiple instance project shells are identical. The Project ID utilizes the same data
element ‘SHELL_shellName_shell’ as is defined in both shell attribute forms
(INFS and PB).
The data definition source is a Unifier system-level variable, SYS Shell
Name (String, 128, Text Box)
Potential Solutions:
1. Create a Project ID DE of another data type which can
be successfully auto-populated from either shell. Drawback: all BPs and integrations which
reference Shell_Shellname_shell will need to be rewritten.
2. Investigate converting the Project Information single-instance
to a multi-instance BP, and create a
separate instance for each single-instance shell type. Same Drawback as Option #1, but with additional
rework. Most likely Project Information
would have to be recreated as a new BP.
Not sure that this option would even work.
3. Create a separate Project Information BP for PB. Drawback: Two separate BPs for Project Information would
need to be created. All existing BPs
refer to Project Information, so this option could potentially invalidate the
ability to use the existing BPs in the PB shell.

Was it really necessary to post the whole API description?!?
Locale[] locales = Locale.ENGLISH();ENGLISH is not a method in class Locale, so do not add the braces "( );".
Also, the constant ENGLISH is not an array, but just a single Locale object.
You didn't say what your problem was. What do you want to achieve with your program and what is it that you don't understand?
