Hi,

Suppose u created attribute XYZ of Date type and binded it to an input element.

In the wddoinit() method of the view, write the below code :-

wdContext.currentContextElement().setXYZ(new java.sql.Date( System.currentTimeMillis() ));

Hi Vishavdeep,

Just need to set the value of the attribute to the current date in wdDoInit method.. Let us say that you have an attribute named "Date" under some context which you have bound to the inputfield.

Then use the sollowing code:

wdContext.current<NODE_NAME>Element().setDate(new java.sql.Date( System.currentTimeMillis()));

I hope this solves your issue. Please revert back in case you need some further help on this.

Thanks and Regards,

Pravesh
