accessing date value from a repeat control date picker

Hi,

I have a picker on a repeat control, binded to scope as below. The field status and nextAction all update OK, but I get nasty errors when I try and set the date.

var doc=database.getDocumentByUNID(taskId);
doc.replaceItemValue("status",requestScope.status);
doc.replaceItemValue("nextAction",requestScope.nextAction);
doc.replaceItemValue("startDate", requestScope.startDate);
doc.save(true)

I have also set the var newdate:NotesDateTime=request... but no cogar.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited

Re: accessing date value from a repeat control date picker

have you tried

doc.replaceItemValue("fieldname",@TextToTime(@Text(requestScope.datefield))

Hi,

The problem might be the datatype of your requestScope.startDate field. The replaceItemValue method expects a NotesDateTime object for date/time fields.

If startDate contains a java.util.Date object, you can use:

session.createDateTime ( requestScope.startDate )

to convert the java Data to a NotesDateTimeObject
