Get object object instead of expected value

[Bird1]

Hello,

Need help. I do have one script that got problem. I need to get the day of week and return which day, so below is my script.

The condition in my script is it needs to get the day of tomorrow instead of today

Remark:

Today is 09/19/23 (Tues)

Tomorrow is 09/20/23 (Wed)

Script.

var gd = new GlideDate();
gd.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var dayOfWeek = gdt.getDayOfWeek();
var whichday = {};

if (dayOfWeek == 1){
whichday = "Monday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 2){
whichday = "Tuesday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 4){
whichday = "Thursday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 7){
whichday = "Sunday";}

gs.print (dayOfWeek);
gs.print(whichday);

I am not sure why it return as [object Object] instead of Wednesday,

Result

*** Script: 3
*** Script: [object Object]

Hi @Bird1 

Actually you are adding value in JSON object directly.It should be key:value pair.

You can try below code :

var gd = new GlideDate();
gd.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var dayOfWeek = gdt.getDayOfWeek();
var whichday = {

           "day":'',

                           };

if (dayOfWeek == 1){
whichday.day= "Monday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 2){
whichday.day = "Tuesday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 4){
whichday.day = "Thursday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 7){
whichday.day= "Sunday";}

gs.print (dayOfWeek);
gs.print(whichday.day);

Test in background script, got empty value.

Hi @Bird1 

Tomorrow will be Wednesday and i think you have not written if condition for Wednesday.

var gd = new GlideDate();
gd.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addDaysLocalTime(1);

var dayOfWeek = gdt.getDayOfWeek();
var whichday = {

           "day":'',

                           };

if (dayOfWeek == 1){
whichday.day= "Monday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 2){
whichday.day = "Tuesday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 3){
whichday.day = "Wednesday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 4){
whichday.day = "Thursday";}

else if (dayOfWeek == 7){
whichday.day= "Sunday";}

gs.print (dayOfWeek);
gs.print(whichday.day);
