Question

i want to create new event in SharePoint calendar list in which I have some custom columns,i tried below code but it is not working

    function bookingRoomForMeeting() {
        var ctx = new SP.ClientContext(appWebUrl);//Get the SharePoint Context object based upon the URL  
        var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("MyCalendarList"); //Get the List based upon the Title
        var listCreationInformation = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation(); //Object for creating Item in the List
        listItem = list.addItem(listCreationInformation);
        listItem.set_item('Title', $("#txt_Title").val());
        var date = $("#txt_startTime").val();
        var dateTime = moment(date, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm a').format("MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm a");
        listItem.set_item('EventDate', dateTime);
        var enddate = $("#txt_endTime").val();
        var enddateTime = moment(enddate, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm a').format("MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm a");
        listItem.set_item('EndDate', enddateTime);
        listItem.set_item('EmailId1', $("#txt_EmailId1").val());
        listItem.set_item('EmailId2', $("#txt_EmailId2").val());
        listItem.update();
        ctx.load(listItem);
        ctx.executeQueryAsync(
            Function.createDelegate(this, success),
            Function.createDelegate(this, fail)
           );
    }
function success() {
    alert("Completed");
}
function fail() {
    alert("operation failed");
}

list am using is SharePoint hosted app list,can any one tell me where am going wrong?

What error are you getting? Also make sure to use internal field names. — Nadeem Yousuf-AIS, Aug 22 '16 at 06:01
That is obvious. Update your fail function to get the error details. something like this function fail(sender, args) { alert("Failed. Message:" + args.get_message()); } — Nadeem Yousuf-AIS, Aug 22 '16 at 06:09
'Start Time' does not exist it may have been deleted by another user this is the error, Start Time is column name — Madhav, Aug 22 '16 at 06:17
As mentioned in my first comment, you need to use internal names of the fields not the display name. — Nadeem Yousuf-AIS, Aug 22 '16 at 06:21
okk,can you tell me the date time format for this?means if i want to enter data using text boxes then what format it should followed? — Madhav, Aug 22 '16 at 06:25
because am entering data into this(8/23/2016 12:00:00 PM) format and am getting string was not recognised as valit DateTime error — Madhav, Aug 22 '16 at 06:44
you need to convert the string to JavaScript date object before assigning it to the field. — Nadeem Yousuf-AIS, Aug 22 '16 at 06:46
can you suggest something?because i tried this conversion aproach but that also not working for me — Madhav, Aug 22 '16 at 09:37

Make sure to use internal names of the fields rather than the display name. Change Start Time to EventDate and End Time to EndDate. See Finding the internal name and display name for a list column for more information on internal field names.

@Ma6139735, you should ask a new question for this. Include your code in the question. – Nadeem Yousuf-AIS Aug 26 '16 at 05:20
