    You can use the following script for the custom Calculate script for the Box 2 field:

     

    // Custom calculate script for Box 2 field
    (function () {

        // Get date from field
        var v = getField("Box1").valueAsString;

        // Convert string to date
        var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", v);

        // Add 30 days
        d.setDate(d.getDate() + 30);

        // Populate this field with the result
        if (v) {
            event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d);
        } else {
            event.value = "";
        }

    })();

     

    Replace "Box1" in the code above with the actual name of the field.
