Set Sunday date and Saturday date for curent week

Question

I want to determine the Sunday and Saturday dates for the current week and then display them in survey fields. I have the following JavaScript which is close to working but doesn’t for some reason. Can someone tell me what is wrong? Thanks Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){            /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is loaded*/    var today = new Date();    var dayOfWeek = today.getDay(); // 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday)        // Calculate the date for the current week's Sunday    var sunday = new Date(today);    sunday.setDate(today.getDate() - dayOfWeek);        // Calculate the date for the current week's Saturday    var saturday = new Date(today);    saturday.setDate(today.getDate() + (6 - dayOfWeek));        // Format the dates as YYYY-MM-DD    var formatDate = function(date) {        var year = date.getFullYear();        var month = ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);        var day = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);        return year + '-' + month + '-' + day;    };        var sundayDate = formatDate(sunday);    var saturdayDate = formatDate(saturday);        // Set the embedded data fields    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('SundayDate', sundayDate);    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('SaturdayDate', saturdayDate);        // Set the default values for the date fields    document.getElementById('Q1').value = sundayDate; // Replace 'QID1' with your question ID for Sunday    document.getElementById('Q2').value = saturdayDate; // Replace 'QID2' with your question ID for Saturday});

@DecomposerCode from AI doesn’t understand the structure of Qualtrics. The problem is within these 2 line of codedocument.getElementById('Q1').value = sundayDate; // Replace 'QID1' with your question ID for Sunday   document.getElementById('Q2').value = saturdayDate; // Replace 'QID2' with your question ID for SaturdayIf you still want to show the date right in the question that running your code, you need to have a little bit of HTML knowledge and get the right Id.Or else, an easier way is to pipe-text the field to a question on the next page with${e://Field/SundayDate} and${e://Field/SaturdayDate}- AI is helpful but they can’t replace us, hope this solution help you

I could see it was setting the Embedded variables correctly but not displaying on the form.
