Hi, I would like to have "date" field filled with todays date automatically after starting the application? Is there a simple way to do that? Regards, Balmer

Hi Balmer,

wdDoInit()
{
  wdContext.currentContextElement().setDateElement( new  Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
}

Regards

Hi,

If you have a context attribute which is bound to the date field in the UI, then you can write this code in the wdDoInit():

//Let's say the context attribute is called "dateVal". Note that it should be of type java.sql.Date
wdContext.currentContextElement().setDateVal(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));

Hi Balmer,

//You can get current date 
Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
//You can set your context like this:
wdContext.currentContextElement().set<attribname>(currDate);

Hi ,

Create attribute of type currDate. Then bind into Input filed. Then inside init() method :

java.util.Date tempDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();

Date sqlDate = new Date(tempDate.getTime());

wdContext.currentContextElement().setcurrDate(sqlDate);
