GlideDateTime incorrect Date

[Edwin Fuller]

I'm using the below script to set a date field called "Actual Completion Date". I believe the GlideDateTime is using a different time zone then the time zone it should be which is Central. Sometimes the field gets set to the current day which is correct and then other times the field is set to the next day which is incorrect. Any thought on this?

var gdt= new GlideDateTime();

current.actual_completion_date.setValue(gdt);

current.current_status = ('Complete');

current.update();

Try this

var gdt= new GlideDateTime();

current.actual_completion_date=gdt.getValue()

current.current_status = ('Complete');

current.update();

If it is a date type field, try this

var gdt= new GlideDateTime();

current.actual_completion_date=gdt.getLocalDate();

current.current_status = ('Complete');

current.update();
