Hi Hars,

I have used your code, its working but, I want to change my date format to "dd-MM-yyyy". when I changed your code as below its now working.

var currentdate = new GlideDate();

currentdate.getByFormat(''dd-MM-yyyy");

I am getting 09-10-2021. My current system date is 19-06-2019.  Can you plz suggest.

Sure, you can use the following JavaScript code in ServiceNow to get today's date in MM-DD-YYYY format without time:

javascript
var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var date = gdt.getLocalDate();
var formattedDate = date.getMonth() + '-' + date.getDay() + '-' + date.getYear();
gs.info(formattedDate);

Here are the steps:

- Create a new GlideDateTime object.
- Use the getLocalDate() method to get the current date.
- Use the getMonth(), getDay(), and getYear() methods to get the month, day, and year respectively.
- Concatenate these values with '-' to get the date in MM-DD-YYYY format.
- Use the gs.info() method to log the formatted date.
