Script include not returning value

[tcorniels]

I have a script include that I cam calling from a catalog client script.  Ultimately I need to script include to return the current date + 2 days and then compare it, in the client script, to a variable field and then reset the variable field if the user chooses an invalid date.  I understand you can't do current date/time checks in a client script.  Not sure why I'm not getting a return value from the script include.

SCRIPT INCLUDE

var DateNowPlusTwoDays = Class.create();
DateNowPlusTwoDays.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
nowTime:function(){

	var valid_date = gs.Date();
	valid_date.addDaysUTS(2);

	return valid_date;
},

    type: 'DateNowPlusTwoDays'
});

CLIENT SCRIPT

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

   var ajax = new GlideAjax('DateNowPlusTwoDays');
   ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','nowTime');
   ajax.getXML('getResponse');
   console.log(ajax);
   console.log(g_form.getValue('date_needed'));
   
	if (g_form.getValue('date_needed') < ajax) {
		alert('Two business day lead time required');
		g_form.setValue('date_needed', ajax);
		return;
	}
   
}

For your script include, change:

valid_date.addDaysUTS(2);

to

valid_date.addDaysUTC(2);

And the client script is missing the 'getResponse()' function.  See examples in your instance. A snippit from one I did:

	// callback function for returning the result from the script include
	function getResponse(response) {
        var users = response;
//		alert('users = ' + users);
        g_form.setValue('u_members_list', users); 
    }

@tcorniels 

you can do this without script include

use this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }

    var selectedDate = new Date(getDateFromFormat(g_form.getValue('date_needed'), g_user_date_format));
    var today = new Date();
    var two_days_from_now = new Date();
    two_days_from_now.setDate(today.getDate() + 2);

    if (selectedDate.getTime() > two_days_from_now.getTime()) {
        alert('Two business day lead time required');
        g_form.clearValue('date_needed');
        g_form.setMandatory('date_needed', true);
    }
}

Hello @tcorniels 

Script Include

var DateNowPlusTwoDays = Class.create();
DateNowPlusTwoDays.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    nowTime: function() {
        var valid_date = new GlideDateTime();
        valid_date.addDaysUTC(2); // Correct method name
        return valid_date.getDate(); // Returns date portion as ISO string (yyyy-MM-dd)
    },
    type: 'DateNowPlusTwoDays'
});

Client Script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') return;

    var ajax = new GlideAjax('DateNowPlusTwoDays');
    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowTime');
    
    // Add callback function as parameter
    ajax.getXML(function(response) {
        var minDateString = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        var userDateString = g_form.getValue('date_needed');
        
        // Convert strings to Date objects
        var minDate = new Date(minDateString);
        var userDate = new Date(userDateString);
        
        // Compare dates
        if (userDate < minDate) {
            alert('Two business day lead time required');
            // Set back to server's minimum date
            g_form.setValue('date_needed', minDateString);
        }
    });
}
