    I am trying to set todays date in a date only field if the date is null or undefined. Getting an error: unable to get property 'setValue' of undefined or null reference. The value should be todays date. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    function setDateRequested()
    {
    var dateRequested = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('nhs_salesmaterialrequest').getValue();
    if (dateRequested == null || dateRequested == 'undefined' || dateRequested == '')
    {
    //var currentDate = new Date();
    //dateRequested.setValue(currentDate);
    dateRequested.setValue(Date.now());
    }
    }

    Hello Jennifer,

    Try following:

    function setDateRequested() {
	var dateRequested = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('nhs_salesmaterialrequest').getValue();

	if (dateRequested == null) {
		Xrm.Page.getAttribute('nhs_salesmaterialrequest').setValue(new Date());
	}
}

    This does not work. I get the error: This control only accepts strings or null as an input.

    Sorry about that must have hit save to soon.
