how does addMonthsLocalTime() work?

[prasanna11]

Does this function calculates result based upon number of days/ just plays with the months part ? I see ambiguity as below..

gs.print(gs.now());
var gd = new GlideDateTime();
gd.setValue(gs.now());
gd.addMonthsLocalTime(parseInt(9));
gs.print(gd.getValue());

Output:

*** Script: 2017-01-06
*** Script: 2017-10-05 23:00:00

Whereas replacing number of months with 10 produces below result.

*** Script: 2017-01-06
*** Script: 2017-11-06 00:00:00

Why the one hour ambiguity when its 9 months?

It's an addition, since we are in January it's 1+9 when you put

1. gd.addMonthsLocalTime(parseInt(9));  

And it's 1+10 = 11 when you do

1. gd.addMonthsLocalTime(parseInt(10));

Yes but the date is one day earlier when its 9 months

Try nowDateTime() instead of now()

Hi Mohamed,

It works when I use datetime object. However i have necessity to add months to a date object which i get from record and nt a datetime.

Is it possible to add months to a date object without messing up the dates using OOB methods?
