GlideAjax to Add date time is adding to today's date not the date field provided

[Markell]

Hi Guys

I utilised the Glide Ajax provided by user @MB to add eg 1 year to a date field in a catalog Item.

The link to @MB Post: Client Script Date/Time Functions

The Client Script I utilised:

the Script Include to go with it is a big one so I copied and pasted the section used for the above ajax:

FYI for my own function to work I had to do a GlideAjax before hand to bring back another field integer. So the reply var is simply getting an integer that I use in the add time var. I point this out only for clarification of any differences with @MB Script.

Now what happens when I run this is that instead of taking the date from the proposed start date field, it seems to take today's date and then run the GlideAjax (correctly) based on that:

I cant really find anything on why this would take place. All sources seem to suggest g_form.getValue() should work for a Date field, but I'm certain this is where this is going wrong. It's as though it doesn't recognize the field.

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards

Markell

Hi,

What is in reply. Seconds, min, days, numeric value?

Thanks,

Its an Integer from a table. I know the integer works as it adds that number of years. 

i.e if you look at the Expiry date, A year has been correctly added but its to todays date

Hi,

You need to use GlideDateTime object.

var day = new GlideDateTime(firstDT);

Also, print firstDT and check if its displaying correct date or not.

Thanks for responding.

I made the change as suggested but this now brings back no value:
