Hi,

All we need to do is to convert the field into seconds. We can do this in two ways: 

1. By giving the max_unit attribute. The max_unit dictionary attribute defines the maximum unit of time used in a duration. To set the maximum unit of duration measurement add the following dictionary attribute to the duration field: max_unit=seconds.

2. By providing the given line in your script it will return output of duration field to a numeric value which will be in milliseconds then divide it by .01. 
var seconds = (current.my_date_field.getGlideObject().getNumericValue()/.001);

Thanks.
