Hi @aditya174, , Thank you!

By using above script it is updating due date as Wed Apr 12 2023 14:03:53 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

But I want this format(12/04/2023 14:03:53) . Do you have any idea. Could you please help with this.

HI @jahnavi chanda ,

Try this one

var now = new GlideDateTime();

// Calculate the due date/time by adding 2 hours to the current date/time
var dueDate = new GlideDateTime(now.getTime() + (2 * 60 * 60 * 1000));

// Set the value of the due date field on the current record
g_form.setValue('due_date', dueDate);
