Add 3 days to current date scoped app

[Dhez Vu]

Hi, 

Anyone help me with the below scenario: 

I'm trying to add 3 days if the current system time is above 3 PM. Tried addDays and it's not working in the scoped application. 

Any suggestions ??

can you share your complete script and mention complete requirement?

complete requirement : 

1. I'm setting the date to one field.  and it needs to check if the current system time is greater than 3PM then that we need to add 3 days to the field. If the current system time is below 3PM then the date field should populate the current date.

Hi,

something like this

var myDate = new GlideDateTime('<your date>');

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var time = gdt.toString().split(' ')[1];

var hour = time.split(':')[0];

hour = parseInt(hour);

if(hour > 15){
	myDate.addDaysUTC(3);
}

// now use myDate to set the value

thankyou for your prompt reply Ankur. This worked very well. 

One last additional que is: if I want to change the final output date format to 'MMddyy' I used getFormat() function and it's throwing an error as this function is not available in the object. 

myDate should be in format of "MMddyy" format
