Try below script

function getTodayInJST() {
  // Get current local time
  var now = new Date();

  // Convert to UTC by adjusting with local timezone offset
  var utc = now.getTime() + (now.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

  // JST is UTC + 9 hours = 9 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ms
  var jstOffset = 9 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

  // Create a new Date object for JST
  var jstDate = new Date(utc + jstOffset);

  // Format components to yyyyMMdd
  var year = jstDate.getFullYear();
  var month = ('0' + (jstDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
  var day = ('0' + jstDate.getDate()).slice(-2);

  return '' + year + month + day;
}

// Example usage in a client script
function onLoad() {
  var jstToday = getTodayInJST();
  console.log('Today (JST) in yyyymmdd:', jstToday);
  // You can also set it on a field, e.g.:
  // g_form.setValue('your_date_field', jstToday);
}
