    Hello,

    I am still fairly new to javascript so I apologise for my lack of knowledgein advance. I have a multiple line of text field "new_mlt" on my account entity form, when I select a specific value in a optionset "new_optionset" it pulls through some basic text. This works fine. However what I am looking to do is add a date field from the form into the basic text on change event: below is my current code, can anyone point me in the right direction about the method required:

    function addtext(){
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption() == null)
     {
         Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").setValue("");
     }
    if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption() != null)
    {
    if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption().text =="A. Value 1")
     {
      Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("add basic text from this date >> XX/XX/XXXX");
    }
    }
    }

    Where I have the XX/XX/XXXX above this is where I need a date field inserting from the form, IE: "new_datefield".

    Many Thanks

    Adam

    Try this :

    function addtext() {
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption() == null) {
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").setValue("");
    }
    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption() != null) {
        
        if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_optionset").getSelectedOption().text == "A. Value 1") {
        
        var date=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_datefield").getValue();

        var stringdate= date.getDate() + "/" + date.getMonth()+1 + "/" + date.getFullYear();
        
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("add basic text from this date >>" + stringdate);
        }
    }
}

    It would be like this :

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("Hi, my name is Adam. Today is" + stringdate + "and I live in the United Kingdom");

    Hi,
    instead of
    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("add basic text from this date >> XX/XX/XXXX");
    you can write
    var d = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_datefield").getValue();
var month = '' + (d.getMonth() + 1);
var day = '' + d.getDate();
var year = ''+ d.getFullYear();

if (month.length < 2) month = '0' + month;
if (day.length < 2) day = '0' + day;

var dFormatted = [day, month, year].join('/');
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("add basic text from this date >> " + dFormatted);

    Thanks Vikram, that is a big help and I understand the script in order to modify if required. I have a another question, if I need to add the date field in the middle of my text, for example:

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_mlt").setValue("add basic text from this date >>" + stringdate);

    So I add the setValue("Hi, my name is Adam. Today is STRINGDATE and I live in the United Kingdom"

    How would I do this in JavaScript? I guess I would have to break the text up into 2 scripts and add the stringdate between?

    Thanks Again for the quick response.

    Adam
