how to set Days,Hours,Minutes,Seconds of a Date/Time field

[Shir Sharvit]

Hi,

I have the field u_date of type Date/Time.

How can I add days to this field and set the hours,minutes, and second to what I want.
For example:

u_date = 12/05/2024 15:00:00

add 2 days, set hours, minutes and seconds to: 16:30:22

u_date =  14/05/2024 16:30:22

thank, Shir

Hi @Shir Sharvit 

You can use below code to achieve this,

var u_date = new GlideDateTime('2024-12-05 15:00:00'); // Convert string to GlideDateTime object

u_date.addDaysUTC(2);  //Add 2 days to the date

u_date.addSeconds(5422); //16:30:22 from 15:00:00 is total 5422 second in total

gs.info(u_date.getValue()); // This will print the updated date/time value

This will definitely helps you to resolved your issue. Let me know in case you need to understand the flow or you can DM on LinkedIn.

@Krushna R Birla 

 I just want to add the days. I want to set the minutes and seconds by myself without adding

[Krushna R Birla]

So, in that case you can use only u_date.addDaysUTC(2);  //Add 2 days to the date. This will add 2 days

Hi @Shir Sharvit ,

Wanted to know more on the requirement, can you please tell me how are you going to take input, like how many days to add?

Do you have a field to store this or any script which invoked a popup to take input for number of days??

Thanks & Regards,
