Need catalogue task to generate when the selected end date is reached in hour and date

[matthew_hughes]

I've got a catalogue item where I want the catalogue task to be created at exactly the date and time of the selected 'end date'. In my workflow, I've got a timer that uses the following code that waits for the selected 'end date' to be reached.

//Wait for End Date to be reached
// Set 'answer' to the number of seconds this timer should wait
answer = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), current.variables.end_date, true);
gs.info('For remove device, the date and time for now is' + gs.nowDateTime() + ' and for end date is ' + current.variables.end_date);

However, what I've noticed is that the catalogue tasks are being created on the selected 'end date' as soon as it goes to midnight:

I was just wondering if there is a way of amending it so that it creates the catalogue task on the date and the time when selected rather than at midnight.

The 'end date' variable is a 'Date' type variable.

Thanks very much. That now creates the tasks when the date and time are reached on the end date

Did you mistakenly marked other response as correct?

The answer marked as correct is exactly the same what I mentioned 3hours ago.

Would you mind marking my response as correct since that was the first correct response

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar  What I have noticed is that it even though it's now working correctly, when I look the at logs, it's decreasing the value of the end date via 1 hour:

e.g. I selected the end date to be 18-05-2022 07:28:42, but it shows as 06:28:42
