Adding one day to a date variable in flow designer

[DanielCordick]

I have to add 1 day to a date field in flow designer and feed the new date into my powershell scripts.. so if date on my effective date is  08-27-2021 i need it to be set to  08-28-2021 in my flow, script below not working 

any help would be great 

var effectiveDate = fd_data.trigger.current.u_effective_date;

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(effectiveDate);
  
  var newDate = gdt.addDaysLocalTime(1);

  return newDate;

this does not work get an error: 

Exception setting "Date": "Cannot convert null to type "System.DateTime"."

The error would make me assume, something is not being set correctly for the effectiveDate variable. Do you get a date when you log that variable or null?

had to rewrite the entire thing after getting undefined when i sent it to the logs.

var effectiveDate = fd_data.trigger.current.u_effective_date.getDisplayValue();

gs.info("EFFECTIVE DATE: " + effectiveDate);

var gd = new GlideDate();

  gd.setValue(effectiveDate);

  gd.addDaysLocalTime(1);
  
  gs.info("NEW DATE: " + gd)

  return gd;​

Hello,

 I do not believe you need to specify current when calling fd_data.trigger. Please try the following:

var effectiveDate = fd_data.trigger.u_effective_date.toString();

Hope this helps.
