How to get just the date and not the time using something similar to javascript:gs.nowDateTime()

[mzmoore]

I'm trying to set a default value in a variable field to return current date without the time. How do I alter   javascript:gs.nowDateTime() to only get the date?

Thanks.

How do I change the date format to day month year

[Saiganeshraja]

var date= new GlideDate();
var date2 = date.getByFormat('yyyy/MM/dd'); // Format according to your requirement
//gs.print(date2);

Hi,

remember you should not use gs.now()

Please use GlideDateTime which works in both Global + Scoped application

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var todayDate = gdt.getDate();

gs.info(todayDate);

To convert to your format use this

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var todayDate = gdt.getDate();

var dt = new GlideDate();

dt.setValue(todayDate);

var myFormat = 'dd-MM-yyyy';

var myFormatValue = dt.getByFormat(myFormat);

gs.info(myFormatValue);

Output:
