Hi Cynthia,

We are on Geneva and I just tried the solution given by Ahmed Hmeid on 23-07-2015, 06:12 (3 posts above yours).

It works perfectly!

Had a look into this and looks like the UI renders fractionally slower in Fuji than in Eureka, so the timeout 0 was failing. Also, the DOM has changed so it could not find the element. So changed the setting function to try repeatedly until it finds the element, and also updated the DOM selector to find the element. Seems to do the trick:

setDatePickerTime(‘dateField’);

function setDatePickerTime(field){
//Attach an event listener to set default time value for date picker
Event.observe($(g_form.getControl(field).id).next().down(), ‘click’, function() {
setTimeout(setDefaultTime,0);
});
}
function setDefaultTime() {

if (!$(‘GwtDateTimePicker_hh’)) {
setTimeout(setDefaultTime,0);

}
else {
$(‘GwtDateTimePicker_hh’).value = ’01’;
$(‘GwtDateTimePicker_mm’).value = ’02’;
$(‘GwtDateTimePicker_ss’).value = ’03’;
}

}
}

On checking the syntax, I get the “WARNING Implied eval is evil. Pass a function instead of a string.” error on the setTimeout line, but I also have that error on Eureka, so I am not sure it means much.

I’ve looked at this in Fuji and I’m not sure there’s a fix unfortunately. This script depends on being able to listen to the ‘click’ event on that icon. It attaches the listener correctly, but ServiceNow doesn’t seem to be triggering the ‘click’ event on those icons in the same way. You might just have to ask ServiceNow if they have another way to set the default picker time for a particular field.

Sure. That’s just another element. You should be able to add this line to your script to set that.

$(‘GwtDateTimePicker_ampm’).value = ‘PM’;

That script works great! Thanks for posting that. I’m using a 12 hour format so I need to set the time to 3:00 pm. It’s setting to 3:00, but am. Is there a way to set it to pm? Thanks again for your help.
