Help with Date field

[User485076]

Hello, 

I have a date field on a catalog form. I basically need to get the value of the date in this field and today's date and then do some calculations. However, when I log the dates, I'm getting it in the wrong format and time zone. Screenshot attached, I need the scheduled date to show in the same format as todays date.

 var selectedDate = new Date(newValue);

  console.log("selected date is: ", selectedDate);

  var today = new Date();

  console.log("today date: ", today);

Hi Amit, I thought about using getDisplayValue. This would correctly log the scheduled date as DD/MM/YYYY. However, I'm also getting todays date, this isn't a field on the form. How can I alter the format here to be the same as the field on the form:

var today = new Date();

Thanks

@User485076 You will get today's date and you can format as per your requirement using below code.

var todayDate= new GlideDate();
todayDate.getByFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");

Getting error: ReferenceError: GlideDate is not defined
