Due Date Field GlideDateTime comparison

[Anubhav24]

Hi All,

We have a field Due Date on catalog task form and I have to compare the old and new values on change of due date field in a onChange Client Script.

I am simply getting the value using g_form and then doing the equal to check , do I need to convert these dates or a simple comparison is fine.

Thanks in advance.

we usually add that comparison so that the onChange does the validation or it triggers only when the value actually changes and doesn't trigger unnecessarily.

@Anubhav24 See if this helps you --

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == oldValue) {
        return;
    }

    var oldDate = new Date(oldValue);
    var newDate = new Date(newValue);

    if (newDate.getTime() !== oldDate.getTime()) {
        g_form.addInfoMessage("Due Date has changed.");
    }
}
