Data time gs.beginningOfLast2Years() vs gs.beginningOfLastYear()

[vkachineni]

This is on Kingston

glide-kingston-10-17-2017__patch12-11-28-2018_12-04-2018_0932

 When I run the following script as a background script I get the same value for the two function calls

gs.info("2 years: " + gs.beginningOfLast2Years() + "   One year: " + gs.beginningOfLastYear());

*** Script: 2 years: 2018-01-01 08:00:00   One year: 2018-01-01 08:00:00

How can  gs.beginningOfLast2Years() and gs.beginningOfLastYear() return the same value?

Hi, 

I don't see gs.beginningOfLast2Years() anywhere in ServiceNow docs. So I have only suggestion for you to figure out the beginning of the year/years based on gs.beginningOfLastYear() + use GlideDateTime method .addYearsLocalTime(-1).

Hope it helps.

Thanks Alexey,

I was using the filter on a list to get a list of lincidents created before last 2 years

When I copied the query, it showed the following filter

sys_created_on<javascript:gs.beginningOfLast2Years()

This led me to believe there is a gs.beginningOfLast2Years().

Thanks,

Vin
