What happens if you try and use SSJS?

newDoc.replaceItemValue(“dateField”, newDate); 

That's from the xpagescheetsheet.  I would try that in an event after your document is available...  

See if that behaves better.

Hi Dave,

I put the code in the "after page load": 

  

var newDate:NotesDateTime = session.createDateTime('Today');
newDate.setNow()
document1.replaceItemValue('expenseDate', newDate);

var codeValue = getComponent("inputCode").getValue();
viewScope.CodeKey = codeValue;

  

 Danyele,

I just want to an app I have.  XPages.TV.   I added a date field to the notes form.  Just a date field.  no default formula or anything. 

I want into an xpage where I can create documents and added a computed field control and bound it to the date field from the form.  I set it to display the Date and Time. 

In the postNewDocument event of the data source I added this: 

   authorDoc.replaceItemValue("dateCreated", @Now());

This gave me date with time and saved the time value to the backend notes document. 

I changed the computed field to use date time picker and set it to show both and that seemed to work ok as well. 

You are using a date field on the notes forum?  are you using the datepicker?  something else like the dojo version? 

What's different between your use case and mine?

Hi Dave,

 

In the Notes form I am using a Date/Time field editable with a Calendar/Ttime control  having a default value of @Now.

In the XPages I am using an Edit Box control Date/Time with a date/time picker pop-up with a default value of @Now()

I am putting what you said in the postNew Document of the XPage: document1.replaceItemValue("expenseDate", @Now());  and I changed the display to date and time.  

It's a miracle, it's working :-) 

Thank you very much for your help
