@James_Robertson use the āRead Onlyā fieldtype! itās not stored in database, and you can customize they value using javascript
In addition to @max_morais_dmmās answer, you can use Moment.js library for calculating the age of the Student or can refer the datetime.js file in the frappe.
Thanks @max_morais_dmm and @ManasSolanki. That makes sense. So I am not a programmer type and donāt know javascript. Assuming I can figure that out, where on the doctype form do I place said code to have the field get calculated?
I essentially want to take the out of box date_of_birth field and divide it by 365.25 to give me the age in years as a whole number/integer.
Thoughts?
The date_of_birth field is of type ādateā.
You can use:
var now = moment();
var total_days = moment(now).diff(date, ādaysā);
var number_of_years = Math.floor((total_days).toFixed(2) / 365.25);
Please help me calculate āageā of just about anything thatās given in a ādateā field please please
cur_frm.set_value(AgeField, moment().diff(cur_frm.doc.DATEFIELDNAME, 'years'));
cur_frm.refresh_field(AgeField)
OMG, thank you so much! Just had to add semicolons and apostrophes you are a life saver!
However, this code is not working on child tables. Any help on that�
Thank you again!
For child Table,
cur_frm.doc.CHILDTABLE_FIELD_NAME[index].AGEFIELD=moment().diff(cur_frm.doc.DATEFIELDNAME, āyearsā)
cur_frm.refresh_fields(āCHILDTABLE_FIELD_NAMEā)
You can create your custom fields(i.e read only and other fields) using customize form , have to write custom script to calculate the age (@ROHAN_JAIN1)has given . Export custom fields and custom script to app using fixtures. If you update doctypes your custom changes will be earsed , by using fixtures you can pull from repository to reflect your changes in your current system
Man, just canāt get it to work⦠Is hitting āAdd script for Child Tableā the right thing?
I have ābirthdayā date field and would like to have āAgeā (child_age) read-only field to calculate Please take a look at the screen shot
Thank you so much!
Man, āIām all inā deep. Got the dev mode on, did lots of changes to many DocTypes⦠Canāt go back
Iāve learned to not mess with the standard DocTypes, but we have really specific differences in my country.
Can you please share screenshot of child doctype too?
@iMoshi
frappe.ui.form.on(āEmployee Childrenā, {
birthday:function (frm,cdt,cdn) {
locals[cdt][cdn].age=moment().diff(locals[cdt][cdn].birthday(), āyearsā);
cur_frm.refresh_fields(āChildTableNameā)
}
});
I somehow canāt get it to work. Fiddled with it a lot, no go ERPNext throws bunch of JS error no matter what I do⦠Iām just going to hide it for now.
Thank you so much Rohan!
I came across another question.
Can we calculate ādurationā of a āstart dateā and āend dateā in a child table?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Yes we Can calculate it.
I should start paying you
Thank you again Rohan!
Thank you so much for this screenshot. It worked for me!
