Return timestamp into custom attribute

Michelle Rutkunas

I have a custom attribute with type of timestamp. I am trying to just return the current date into it from calculated value script here:

dojo.provide("cr.DateInitiated.genInfo");
dojo.require("dojo.date");
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");

(function() {
    dojo.declare("cr.DateInitiated.genInfo", null, {

        getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
var currentDate = new Date();
var currentDateString= dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(currentDate, {milliseconds:true, zulu:true});
var date = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(currentDateString);
return date;
        }
    });
})();

This has worked for me:

dojo.provide("com.team.example.CurrentDate");

dojo.require("dojo.date"); // We need the date class from Dojo 
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp"); // We need the stamp class to work with ISO date strings

(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.team.example.CurrentDate", null, {

        getDefaultValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {

        var now=new Date();
        var date= dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(now, {milliseconds:true, zulu:true});
        console.log("Now is: " + date);
        return date;    

        }
    });
})();

this was not my question. This code returns a string ... i am asking about returning the date into a timestamp attribute. My code with the line: var date = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(currentDateString); return date; it doesn't return anytning... i have it attached to timestamp attribute. So I need it to be in timestamp format. Which i know the ".fromISOString" does, but for some reason it isn't working for me ... so i need to know what else i am missing

That is a working default value for a date or timestamp attribute, as far as I remember. Maybe you are asking the wrong question?

I am asking how to return timestamp value into custom attribute (type of timestamp) when using javascript Date(). perhaps its javascript date format ... need to know how to return a date not string.

I already answered. As far as I can tell, this code should return the date for a timestamp attribute, regardless if custom or not. The code below returns the data in calculated and default values. dojo.provide("com.example.ValueProvider"); dojo.require("dojo.date"); // We need the date class from Dojo dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp"); // We need the stamp class to work with ISO date strings (function() { dojo.declare("com.example.ValueProvider", null, { getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) { var now=new Date(); var date= dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(now, {milliseconds:true, zulu:true}); console.log("Now is: " + date); return date; } }); })(); You convert to the attribute using dojo.date.stamp.toISOString . You read such attributes and get the date out of them using dojo.date.stamp.toISOString

This reads the attribute value and makes it available as date in the script: var beginDate = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(workItem.getValue("com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.creationdate"));

in your example var date is a string ... i need it to be timestamp. I know that dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString converts the string to date, but i want to be able to put that date in a timestamp attribute ... is this possible ?

You can continue to ignore my answer. Or you try my code out and see that you have to return a string in the right format. I do not care any more. I will unsubscribe from this question.

I am not ignoring your answer. I simply am asking a different question. I have tried your code and it is not what I am asking. i have a custom attribute that is type timestamp I am simply trying to put a date into that attribute. I understand it has to be the right format ... doing the following doesn't put the date in the attribute: var currentDate = new Date(); var currentDateString= dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(currentDate, {milliseconds:true, zulu:true}); var date = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(currentDateString); return date; I have the code also assigned to a String Attribute, and it works fine. But i need it tto work with a timestamp attribute

I actually ran the example, again before sharing, and it works for me.
