I'm trying to set up a button that resets the dates to today. However, I can't seem to make daterangepicker.setStartValue() work.
I've tried with the transformer, a Query JSON with SQL and a Run JS Code resource - all with no result.
What's weirder, the docs say I should be able to do this!
https://docs.retool.com/docs/scripting-retool#daterangepickersetstartvaluestring--date
I was curious, so I added a daterangepicker , then made a new js query, and it worked immediately for me.
even code completion was working
daterangepicker1.setStartValue(moment())
My query runs successfully, but the value isn't changed. Did it actually change the start value @jnui?
actually no, I don’t believe so.
I set it to add 5 days, moment().add(5, ‘days’)
and it did nothing
setting within the inspector works ok, {{ moment().add(5, ‘days’) }}
but not in the script.
That’s a bummer - on the one hand I’m glad it’s not me. On the other hand I wish that it was working for you and you had a quick fix for me. #sigh
Well, hopefully somebody at Retool will see this soon. 
Hiya!@mathfour & @jnui try setting the format like this -daterangepicker1.setStartValue(moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD'))
LMK if that works for you!
Nope - I get a successful message, but no change in the actual daterangepicker date.
However, I DO get this interesting alert:
Hi mathfour,
The unexpected token error is coming from a wrong character in the date format input. I think this is an issue with our forum software replacing characters when it is not in a code block. That being said, I tested the script below and it worked.
The correct code snippet is:
daterangepicker1.setStartValue(moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD'))
vs.
daterangepicker1.setStartValue(moment().format(‘YYYY-MM-DD’))
