Add todays date to TextBox if ComboBox is changed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by stephenjcarr 138

Hi 

 

I have a combobox on a form with Items for "Requested", "In Progress", "Complete" etc... 

 

I also have a Date Picker field to show the "Date Completed" 

 

I would like to add code so when "Complete" is selected from the combobox, today's date is added to the date picker field. Date needs to show in UK format. 

 

Likewise, if the combobox is changed to the other items, then remove the date from the date picker

 

Any help appreciated 🙂

Thanks,

    Scratch this. Solved it as soon as I posted. 

     

    I added this to the OnChange property of the ComboBox 

     

    If(
    DataCardValue2.Selected.Value = "Complete",
    UpdateContext({ CompletedDate: Today() }),
    UpdateContext({ CompletedDate: Blank() })
    )


    Then I added the variable "CompletedDate" to the Default Date property of my date picker

    Hi @stephenjcarr ,

     

    Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear you solved this problem.

     

    I suggest you set the OnSelect property for the combo box to ‘Reset(DatepickerName)’ , to ensure that the logic of automatically modifying the date is valid after the user manually selects it.

     

    In addition , you could set the datepicker's Format property to change the format.
