Glide date time add seconds not working

[Lewis Hancox]

Hi ive posted above my code that currently works and creates announcements as needed the issue I am having is trying to add extra time to a variable based of gliddatetime time this is what I need to happen 

get glide date-time > add 12 hours > apply variable to 'to' field on the announcement 

I have tried following the ServiceNow documentation with the example in seconds pictured below

not only doesn't this add the extra time to the variable it also stops the script from running for some reason 

andy help is appreciated.

thank you in advanced

yeah, remove the brackets after the gdt, your adding the value as a variable, not a function call.:

gr.setValue('to', gdt);

Hi there,

This should work fine if you want to add 12 hours (= tested):

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addSeconds(43200);

So after this, you could use something like:

gr.to = gdt;

You are talking about inserting an announcement. Why doing .update()? Technically it will work, though would make it confusing if you look later at this script or somebody else has to do something with your script.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark
