onLoad catalog client script Remove choice from Select box based on date/time variable

[booher04]

Trying to remove a choice from a select box variable based on a date/time variable being on or after the first day of the year(ex: January 1, 2025).  

I need to remove the choice "CommVault" from the select box variable "data_restore_environment" if the date/time variable "restore_date" is on or after the first day of this year(January 1, 2025). 

I tried the below with no success:

function onLoad() {
var presentYear = new GlideDateTime().getYear();
var yearStart = new GlideDateTime(presentYear + '-01-01 00:00:00');
var dre = new GlideDateTime(g_form.getValue('restore_date'));

if (dre >= yearStart) {
	g_form.removeOption('data_restore_environment', 'CommVault');
	alert('TEST');
}
}

Hello @booher04 ,

GlideDateTime() is a server side API and not available in Client Scripts.

Please replace your script with the following:

function onLoad() {

    var restoreDate = getDateFromFormat(
        g_form.getValue('restore_date'), g_user_date_time_format);
    var currentYear = new Date().getUTCFullYear();
    var beginningOfThisYear = new Date(currentYear, 0, 1).getTime();

    if (restoreDate >= beginningOfThisYear) {
        g_sc_form.removeOption('data_restore_environment', 'CommVault');
    }
}

Please make sure the "Applies on Catalog Tasks" checkbox is enabled. 

Regards,

Robert

Thanks for the reply!  The variable "data_restore_environment" only appears on SCTASKs, and the date/time variable "restore_date" is selected on the Portal when the user submits the item.  It won't change after submission.

Hello @booher04 ,

Thanks for the feedback, that's important information.

I have adjusted the script in my original response to work for Catalog Tasks.

@Robert H thanks for the quick response.  I tried the script you provided.  It doesn't seem to be working either.  The choice is still displaying on the SCTASK for the select box variable "data_restore_environment".
