In scoped application development, How to manipulate date field value to add number of days .

Tried Using below code in Ui action, to add number of days to   start date   which is not working .

  var temp_date=this.getParameter('start_date');

  var s_date= new GlideDateTime();

  s_date.setValue(temp_date);

  var end_date=   new GlideDateTime();

  end_date.setValue(temp_date);

  gs.addInfoMessage('start date',s_date);

  var days=g_form.getValue('number_of_days');

  end_date.addDaysLocalTime(days);

  g_form.setValue('wo_end_date',temp_date);

We want to add number of days to start date to calculate end date .Kindly suggest some solution .

Hi Mamata,

I have one question-: from where are you passing the values to temp_date?

var s_date= new GlideDateTime();                   ==> This will set the current Date to s_date

  s_date.setValue(temp_date);                

  var end_date=   new GlideDateTime();     ==> This will set the current Date to end_date

  end_date.setValue(temp_date);

  gs.addInfoMessage('start date',s_date);

  var days=g_form.getValue('number_of_days');         ==> This will return a string

  end_date.addDaysLocalTime(days);                                         ==> addDaysLocalTime() this function takes integer parameter but you are passing a string

  g_form.setValue('wo_end_date',temp_date);

Thanks Nitish for your inputs, We need to fetch the value of date time field "start date " on current form .

Putting the value in temp_date as below:

var temp_date = g_form.getValue('start_date') ;

I tried with parseInt() , it didn't work .

We want to fetch Start date value and calculate end date, adding number of days to start date .Please suggest .

Hi Mamatha,

GlideDateTime is not available on Client Side, it is only available on the Server Side.

So what you can do is make your End_Date_Field readonly, provide the number of days in Number_of_days, Save.

Make one Before BR and pass the values there-->

var _noofDays = parseInt('current.getValue('number_of_days');

var _start = current.getValue('start_date_field');

var _end = new GlideDateTime(_start);

_end.addDaysLocalTime(_noofDays);

current.setValue('end_date_field',_end);
