Date/time picker in prompter dialog (2)

[Chris Ju]

(first topic was marked as spam)

Hi,

i’m using the prompter dialog to enter text and date/time for a new cild record:

…

let prompter = Prompter.new();
prompter.addParameter(‘Note:’, ‘note’, ‘text’)
.addParameter(‘DateTime:’, ‘datetime’, ‘date_time’)
.show(‘Message prompt’, callbackFunction);

The field “Note” is filled with the texted i entered in the dialog, but “DateTime” is still empty. What is wrong with my script?

Is it possible to add days/weeks/years (choosing from picklist in the prompter dialog) to the current date and add the result in the DateTime field in the created record?

Thanks
Chris

The third parameter is a field type but I don’t think date_time is a valid type, certainly it doesn’t appear in the documentation.

This populates the variables how I expect them on TF 5.3.15 (972):

var note;
var datetime;
function callbackFunction() {
	console.log('Callback');
	console.log('Note:');
	console.log(note);
	console.log('Date Time:');
	console.log(datetime);
}

let prompter = Prompter.new();
prompter.addParameter('Note:', 'note', 'text')
.addParameter('DateTime:', 'datetime', 'date_time')
.show('Message prompt', callbackFunction);

Thanks for your suggestion. Still does not work. Where can i find the documentation?

I took “date_time” from https://www.tapforms.com/help-mac/5.3/en/topic/javascript-api

… and how can i automatically open the created record after confirming prompt?

Life is difficult… ;-)

getFieldsForType is for getting fields from a form not for the prompter, the prompter section at the bottom has a list of the supported types as the examples.

You can use openUrl to open a record, something like this should work:

Utils.openUrl(targetRecord.getUrl());

Change targetRecord to be the variable of the record you want to open.
