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);

@User485076 you need to use above code in server side script not in catalog client script.

Hi @User485076 

Please let me know where you are running this script into ? Like in a catalog client script or a Script Include or a Fix Script ?

Thanks & Regards

It's a catalog client script. GlideDate is server side

Yes. It is server side script. you need to add in script include and call script include from catalog client script

Hi @User485076 

If you want to handle this completely in your client script only, use below logic :

var today_date = new Date();
var day = today_date.getDate();
var month = today_date.getMonth();
month = month + 1;
var year = today_date.getFullYear();
var today_date_str = day + "-" + month + "-" + year;

Thanks & Regards
