Can we use gs.now() in global & scoped applications??

Hello Community,

Can anyone let us know can gs.now() will work scoped applications?

Thanks,

Hi,

Just checked on Developer site, no, it's not supported in scoped applications.

You can easily try something like this yourself by running the method in Scripts Background, 
and just switch to a scoped application.
By just running

var test = gs.now();

You will get the following output.

Evaluator.evaluateString() problem: 
com.glide.script.fencing.MethodNotAllowedException: 
Function now is not allowed in scope x_xyz_scopename. 
Use GlideDate instead: new GlideDate().getDisplayValue(): 
com.glide.script.fencing.ScopedScriptableObject.checkWhitelistAccess(ScopedScriptableObject.java:137)

Hi,

As @OlaN said gs.now() won't work in Scoped Application

You can use the - new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();

No it will not work in scoped applications.

The best way to use in scoped applications is using new GlideDateTime();
