daysAgo ()

[sunny13]

Hi All,

I have a field in catalog form call ADT effective date which will be filled out by user.

For specific items i want the tasks to have delivery date as two days ago of ADT effective date.

I'm using a After BR on task form   because i want this script to run for 5 items which i have specified in the condition.

My Code :

function onAfter(current, previous) {

  //This function will be automatically called when this rule is processed.

  var del=current.request_item.variables.ADT_Effective_Date.getDisplayValue();

  gs.addInfoMessage('the adt date is '+del);

  /*var gd = new GlideDateTime(del);

  gs.addInfoMessage('the adt date is '+gd);*/

  var agotwoDays =del.daysAgo(2);

  gs.addInfoMessage('removed 2 Days '+agotwoDays);

  /*var add= addtwoDays.getDate();

  gs.addInfoMessage('added 2 Days '+addtwoDays);*/

  //current.u_delivery_date=addtwoDays.getDisplayValue();

  current.u_delivery_date=agotwoDays;

// current.update();

}

Hi Michal,

I checked both my fields u_delivery_date and ADT_Effective_date have data type as "date" only.

Hi,

Use this code it will work:

Pass the date to Glide date time and code follows:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(agotwoDays);

gdt.addDays(-2);

gdt.getLocalDate();

gs.addInfoMessage("date2"+gdt.getLocalDate());

Thank you that worked

Can you please tell me why daysAgo () din't work ? just asking out of curiosity

Your code needs a few adjustments to properly subtract two days from the ADT Effective Date. Use GlideDateTime to handle date operations. Instead of daysAgo(2), use addDaysUTC(-2) to subtract 2 days. Here's an updated version:

var del = current.request_item.variables.ADT_Effective_Date;
if (del) {
var gd = new GlideDateTime(del);
gd.addDaysUTC(-2); // Subtract 2 days
current.u_delivery_date = gd; // Set new delivery date
}
This code checks if the ADT date exists, subtracts two days, and assigns the new date to u_delivery_date. Ensure the field is of type GlideDateTime or date. I also face this issue on my 3 projects, Brand in Marketing, Brand Counters and Likely A Business.

Hi,

It works only Client side glide system is only client side(As per my Knowledge).
