Programatically set label to the current date

[lloop]

I am trying to set the todoDate label in the TODO scritping code. This original issue seemed to be promising but it doesn't work. What I get is a date in quotes (obviously because it's a string). #todoDate="12/17/2022" . But that doesn't show up in the note as a date. When I select a date from the calendar widget I get a date without quotes. So I believe it is creating a dayJS object. But when I use the object I get a date that is ISO format with T and the seconds. Doesn't work either. I am probably doing something stupid but can't figure it out.
TIA

Hi there. I am extending the attribute changed script from the Task manager example. I'd like to set the label doneDate to the current date when another attribute is changed. Something like:

note.setLabel('doneDate', utils.localNowDateTime())

I can't figure out how to get the current datetime string. Any help?

Hi, to be able to help you need to post some code samples.

const todayDate = api.dayjs();
const tommorrowDate = todayDate.add(1, 'day').format('MM/DD/YYYY');

doneNote.setLabel('todoDate', tommorrowDate);
doneNote.toggleLabel(false, 'doneDate');

Looks pretty good to me, but you need to use the ISO date format - YYYY-MM-DD.
