Add 30 days to start time(date time field) and set stop time(date time field) on catalog form

[ilam334]

Add 30 days to start time(date time field) and set stop time(date time field) on catalog form with user having different data format in profile other than system(MM-dd-yyyy).

catalog client script:

var ajax = new GlideAjax(script_include');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'add30days');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_start_date', newValue);

ajax.getXML(checkDate);

 function checkDate(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

        g_form.setValue('stop_time', answer);

 }

script include function:

add30days: function() {

        var stime= new GlideDateTime(this.getParameter('sysparm_start_date'));

        stime.addSeconds(604800);

        return stime;

},

The issue is with different date format on user profile, the above code is working fine for user with data format(system - OOTB) but not working if user has select other date formats(ex: dd/mm/yyyy) in profile. can you help in  making the script working for all date formats in ServiceNow

Thanks in advance,,!

Hi ILAM,

In your script include, you can try the following:

// This should return the value using the current user's display format and time zone
return stime.getDisplayValue();

I hope my response has been helpful. If so, please consider marking it as such. Thank you!
