Select date using selectValues api

[boonhaw_tan]

Hi All,

I have a multiple html pages mashup but i having problem to preserve current selection between html pages.

Thus, i tried to using browser sessionstorage method to store current selection made in page A then retrieve the selection from sessionstorage in page B and using selectValues api to perform pre-select.

I able to selectValues() for interger and text but i having problem to use selectValues for selecting date.

Kindly advice how can select date using selectValues.

app.field('customer_name').selectValues(["Peter"], true, true) -> working

app.field('year').selectValues([2014], true, true) -> working

app.field('date').selectValues(['1/7/2013'], true, true) -> not working

Thanks.

Hi There,

sorry that i revive this thread, but i have a question regarding the selectValue() situation with the number (qNum) of date entrys within a field.

I am trying to select a range of values starting from 30 days ago from today.

That is all not a problem but, my field has entrys with timestamps which resolves as a xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx pattern in the qNum part of the field.

Now the actual question is, how do i select entrys if i dont know the part after the "."

but just know the part in front of it?

what i was trying to do was like this:

app.field("someDateField").selectValues([array[0],......,array[29]]);

to select the entrys with the past 30 days. Well as you might expect, it didnt work out.

Since there are more then just 30 entrys infact it might be more then 30 entrys per day.

Is there any soloution to this problem?  Like a selectRange variant or wildcard selection?

Kind Regards

MW
