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, 

This is coming out as below. Any way of getting to show the same format as scheduled date? Should be 08/01/2024

Hi @User485076 

Please use below code:

var today_date = new Date();
var day = today_date.getDate();
day = day < 10 ? "0" + day : day;
var month = today_date.getMonth();
month = month + 1;
month = month < 10 ? "0" + month : month;
var year = today_date.getFullYear();
var today_date_str = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

Thanks & Regards

don't use Date() class of javascript

If you are using catalog client script then pass this value to script include function via GlideAjax and then perform the calculations and return the value back to client script
