Hi All,

I have a widget shown below, I would like to set today's date as initial valuee while showing the widget in UI,

var date = new Date();

var lastDeployedToPROD = {
   name : "alfresco/forms/controls/DateTextBox",
   config : {
      requirementConfig : {
         initialValue : true
      },
      value : date,
      name : "prop_hccm_lastDeployedDateToPROD"
   }
};

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Even after setting the date in "value" field, it is not showing in the UI.
I will have to manually select the date, is there any way to populate the date with today's date.
Please help!!!!

Thanks in Advance,
Satheesh

Hi Satheesh,
Can you please try the below one?
This I have used, in the .get.js file.

var currentDate = new Date().toISOString();

//Create the form control for the student
var formControls = [{
      name : "alfresco/forms/controls/DojoValidationTextBox",
      config : {
         name : "alf_destination",
         value : alfDestination,
         visibilityConfig : {
            initialValue : false
         }
      }
   },
   {
      name : "alfresco/forms/controls/DojoDateTextBox",
      config : {

         label : "Student Registration Date",
         value : currentDate,
         name : "prop_cm_studentRegistrationDate",
         requirementConfig : {
            initialValue : true
         }
      }
   }];
