Notificatiion - Change Date Format - Email Script

[Annette Kitzmil]

Hello,

I need to change the date format that is part of a notification so that it shows as MM/dd/yyyy.  On the screen shot below, my script is making the notification show "Opened:" two times and then the date for the second one is formatted correctly, but one a new line instead of the same line.  Can someone take a look at my script below and tell what I am missing here please?

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,

          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,

          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

        var dateToPrint = new GlideDateTime(current.opened_at);

        var dateFormat = dateToPrint.getDate();

        template.print('<p>Opened:</p> ' + dateFormat.getByFormat('MM/dd/yyyy'));

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Thank you

Hi @Annette Kitzmil ,

I think in the notification body you would have written Opened: followed by email script.

I would suggest remove Opened either at notification body or in  the email script as of template.print

Please try below code:

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

        var dateToPrint = new GlideDateTime(current.opened_at);
        var dateFormat = dateToPrint.getDate();
        template.print('<p>Opened: ' + dateFormat.getByFormat('MM/dd/yyyy') + '</p>');

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);
