Set Todays Date&Time with JS using custom button

[Maciek Grischke]

I know about Set Field Value, but I want to set a date and time when I click on Close this case (custom button).

I assume this could be done with a custom JS. I’ve tried, but I’m struggling to get it working.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Excellent!

So here’s what I did:

// Insert button if case is Open
function showCloseButton() {
    jQuery("input[id$='_diidIOSaveItem']").before("<input type='button' id='CloseTicket' class='ms-ButtonHeightWidth' style='margin-right:4px;' value='Close this case' onclick='closeTicket()' />");            
}

function closeTicket(){
	setFieldValue("Status","Closed");
	setFieldValue("DUC",false);
	var dateVal = new Date();
	spjs.utility.setDateFieldFromDateObject("DateCompleted",dateVal,0);
	spjs.dffs.triggerSave();
}

Thank you!
