I need to set the due date for the approvers

[Hazel3]

Hi,

I need to set the due date for the approvers for one hour. The below script i have used.

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();  

 gdt.add(1 * 60 * 60 * 1000); 

var dueDateString = gdt.getValue(); 

return dueDateString;

But the due date field in the approver table is showing empty and after one hour is passed it is still waiting in the "Ask for approval" action

Kindly help on this.

@Hazel3 

you want to add 1 hour to current date/time and set

if yes then do this

you can use addSeconds() function and give 3600 seconds = 1hour

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();  
gdt.addSeconds(3600);
return gdt.getValue();

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

The approvers are getting triggered for both the scripts. But the due date is empty in the approval record and flow is still waiting even after due date is passed.

@Hazel3 

where are you using that script?

You didn't share the complete detail

What's your business requirement?

I am using this script in the due date script field in the "ask for approval"
