Rest API explorer- mapping date fields

[Garima13]

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom service catalog cart submit api. Every variable is getting mapped correctly but the date fields are getting mapped to the current date

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {

var reqbody = request.body.dataString;

try {

var parser = new global.JSON();

var parsedData = parser.decode(reqbody);

var requestedFor = parsedData.variables.requested_for;

var startDate = parsedData.variables.start_date.toString();

var firmstartDate = parsedData.variables.firm_start_date.toString();

var selectOne = parsedData.variables.select_one;

var phoneModel = parsedData.variables.phone_model;

var phoneNumber = parsedData.variables.phone_number;

var phoneCarrier = parsedData.variables.phone_carrier;

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);

var cart = new Cart(cartId);

var sysid;

var grUsr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

grUsr.addQuery('user_name', requestedFor);

grUsr.query();

if (grUsr.next()) {

sysid = grUsr.sys_id;

}

var item = cart.addItem('53df2fbe87ada15098a041d8cebb352b', 1);

cart.setVariable(item, "requested_for", sysid);

cart.setVariable(item, "start_date",startDate);

cart.setVariable(item, "firm_start_date", firmstartDate);

cart.setVariable(item, "select_one", selectOne);

cart.setVariable(item, "phone_model", phoneModel);

cart.setVariable(item, "phone_number", phoneNumber);

cart.setVariable(item, "phone_carrier", phoneCarrier);

var rc = cart.placeOrder();

var reqNumber = rc.number;

var ritm = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');

ritm.get('request.number', reqNumber);

var ritmNumber = ritm.number;

var res = {};

res.body = {

"message": "Success",

"Request Number": ""+ reqNumber +"",

"RITM Number":""+ritmNumber+""

// "detail": "Request Number: " + reqNumber + ", RITM Number: " + ritmNumber

};

response.setBody(res);

} catch (e) {

var resObj = {};

var sErrorcatch = new sn_ws_err.ServiceError();

this.status = 400;

this.action = 'Error';

sErrorcatch.setStatus(this.status);

resObj.body = {

"message": "Transaction Ignored at run time! Error thrown is: " + e,

"detail": "Unexpected exception occurred during processing the request. Check if the payload and attributes are correct."

};

sErrorcatch.setMessage(resObj.body.message);

sErrorcatch.setDetail(resObj.body.detail);

return sErrorcatch;

}

})(request, response);

what's coming in logs for startDate and firmstartDate after parsing the json?

[Garima13]

After parsing, logs are showing correct date that I passed.

There is some issue happening in the mapping. Because even if I pass static past dates, it is changing it into current date.
