new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on not copying to variables and posting back to records

[Jeffrey Barton]

I wrote the following business rule script to read the created date from the record and then update two custom fields with the created date but it doesn't seem to be working. 

Where did I go wrong?

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var gcdt = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on);

    var lreview = new GlideDateTime(Current.u_last_review);

    var anreview = new GlideDateTime(current.u_annual_standard_change_review_date);

    // set variable gcdt to current created date in system

    lreview = gcdt;

    anreview = gcdt;

})(current, previous);

There are a few things to point out with your script. Take a look at the comments below.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {
    var gcdt = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on);
    var lreview = new GlideDateTime(Current.u_last_review); // should be current with a lowercase c
    var anreview = new GlideDateTime(current.u_annual_standard_change_review_date);
  
    // set variable gcdt to current created date in system
    lreview = gcdt;
    anreview = gcdt;
  
  
    // where are you setting the custom fields? 
    // current.fieldName = lreview;
    // current.fieldName = anreview; 

})(current, previous);

I added them on the form as new fields.  it's all on the current form.

Hi @Jeffrey Barton ,

Hope you are doing great.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var gcdt = new GlideDateTime(current.getValue('sys_created_on'));

    var lreview = new GlideDateTime(current.getValue('u_last_review'));

    var anreview = new GlideDateTime(current.getValue('u_annual_standard_change_review_date'));

    // set variable gcdt to current created date in system

    lreview = gcdt;

    anreview = gcdt;

})(current, previous);

or try using  below code :

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var gcdt = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on.toString());

    var lreview = new GlideDateTime(Current.u_last_review.troString());

    var anreview = new GlideDateTime(current.u_annual_standard_change_review_date.toString());

    // set variable gcdt to current created date in system

    lreview = gcdt;

    anreview = gcdt;

})(current, previous);

Reason being  - GlideDateTime accpets date in string format in input parameter.

it still didn't update the fields.
