How to get current date..now()?

aarav · ‎12-06-2017

Hi friends.

I want to capture the current date to one of my field.

We can capture the time from nowDateTime() function.

But i want to capture directly In 28-Nov-2016 format.

can we use function : now()

But it says 'Gets the current date using GMT date time.' .

My question is will it capture current date? as its mentioned GMT...will it capture different date.....

if yes then in what format it will capture..

I am not able to produce/create scenario here to test...

Please advice

Thank you very much in advance.

regards

Aarav

Hi Aarav,

You can use .getDisplayValue(); for capturing current date of your time zone.

For instance, to get current date of opened field you can use

var abc=current.opened.getDisplayValue();

Also, you can use setDisplayValue to set the time to now:

current.opened.setDisplayValue(gs.nowDateTime());

Hi Jaspal,

In Rest Api am trying to query using sys_created_onONgs.nowDateTime()

This returns in GMT.

Is it possible to get result user's timezone ?
