Help with script in custom flow action - need to return value with date & time

[Lon Landry4]

I have a custom action for flow designer that nearly works, the correct date is returned but no time.

Action - Set date to first of month

Inputs:

Label Next audit date & Name u_next_audit_date with Type Date/Time

Script step

Outputs:

First of month date (ill from script step)

Warning in script step.

Encountered undeclared output variable: result_date_time

What is returned - (Correct date but no time stamp...)

Any ideas?

@Lon Landry4  Use getDisplayValue() insted of getValue(). Please see below updated script.

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
    // Parse the input date
    var inputDate = new GlideDateTime(inputs.u_next_audit_date);

    // Extract year and month from the input date
    var year = inputDate.getYear();
    var month = inputDate.getMonth() + 1; // Months are 0-indexed

    // Create a new GlideDateTime for the 1st of the month at 2:00 AM
    var newDateTime = new GlideDateTime();
    newDateTime.setValue(year + '-' + (month < 10 ? '0' + month : month) + '-01 02:00:00');

    // Set the output (use getDisplayValue to return both date and time)
    outputs.result_date_time = newDateTime.getDisplayValue();
})(inputs, outputs);

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you.

I changed the code as mentioned, but I am seeing the same error...

When I test the action - I see the correct Date & Time - the time is being lost when passed back to flow.
