Get the difference in seconds between Current Date time and a Date Time Field

[Martin Nguyen]

I am writing a business rule that will check a box if a Due Date Time is more then 5 days from the current date. What is the best way to calculate that?

You can use the gs.dateDiff(startDate, endDate, true) function:

GlideSystem - Global

The true at the end will make it return the value in seconds.   Then you can convert seconds into days.
