Compare a field date with current time using Client Script.

[prabhmeet]

Hi,

I want that on change_request table, planned start date should always be 24hrs ahead of current time.

I have done this successfully using Business Rule, But I have to do this using Client Script.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var start = g_form.getValue('start_date');
var dttype = 'hour';
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', start);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype', dttype);
ajax.getXML(doSomething);

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

if (answer >= 1)

{g_form.addErrorMessage('Selected time should be more than 24 hours of current time');

}
}

it is not working. Can someone help with the code?

Hi

Can you share the business rule code here?

This is the code

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here

if(current. start_date<= gs.daysAgo(-1)) {

current.setAbortAction(true);

gs.addInfoMessage("The planned start date must be more than 1 calendar days in the future.");
}

})(current, previous);

This post is nearly what you are asking for, you just need to add 24 hours and you have what you need.

This article on date/time functions is also a good reference for you.

Can you please write and show me the changes, because I do not know how to do that
