Prefill Subject

[son0fvashonParticipant]

Hello,

I want to prefill the Subject field when I first create a new appointment. Is there a way to do that. As far as i was able to find out all the events editDialogOpen and editDialogCreate are trieggered after the edit Dialog is created and Prefilled with e.g. the start date and time.

I would like to thank you in advance for your help.

Hello son0fvashon,

Unfortunately, no such property.
You could try to create a workaround.
I would like to suggest you one hint (you could create customizations in editDialogCreate callback):

var titleContainer = $('.jqx-scheduler-edit-dialog-label')[0].nextElementSibling;
var titleInput = $(titleContainer).find('input');
titleInput.val('prefix');

Please, take a look at this demo, as a base:

Hello,

I ran in kind of the same problem agian but this time with the to date. I tried to use the methode that you sugested but as soon as you change the from date it removes my previosly set value and goes back to the default 30 min offset. So the problem is not setting the “to date” but rathe that it behaves like i usually would when you enter a date manualy.

To explan what i try to do: I have a selection of different types of appointments on my page and as soon as you select one and open the edit dialog it should prefil the subject (as described above) and the to date field.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Hello son0fvashon,

The Scheduler by design is created to set a default value for the date/time.
You could try to set new date in same callback (editDialogCreate) but with follow approach: fields.from.val('23/11/2016 11:14 AM').
And will add automatically time for the “to”. If you want to set a custom time for this place just set fields.from.val... in setTimeout.
Hope this helps.

Hello Hristo

I tried to set the from field like you said but it only changes the displayed value. As soon as i change the value, e.g. 1 minute up, it changes back to the original value before i changed the time. As far as i can tell it has to do something with the DateTimeInput but i don’t know how to change that. Maybe you have an idea on how to change this.

Thank you.
