How to check date and time variable if it is empty or not using email script?

[Jessica28]

Hello,

I have a date and time variable on the RITM that I need to check to see if it is empty or not.

I tried this code in email script, but it is not working:  Thank you

if (current.variables.startDate.nil()) {
template.print('Date is invalid);
} else {

template.print('Date is valid);

Hi @Saurabh Gupta  

Your code below is working out perfectly. I will replace my version with yours. Awesome, I learned something new today. Thanks to you and the other helpers.

(function runMailScript( /* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
/* Optional EmailOutbound */
email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
/* Optional GlideRecord */
event) {
var date=current.sysapproval.variables.select_end_date_time.getDisplayValue();
var msg="Date is not valid"
if (date) 
{
msg='Date is valid';
}
