Subtract 1 day from populated due date

[booher04]

Afternoon community.  I have a need to populate the due date on SCTASK based off of a date field variable(r_3716_distribute_notice) and then subtract 1 day from that date.  I am trying to use a business rule for this but it's not populating correctly.  I am sure I have something wrong in the code.  I've tried many different codes on my own.

var gdt = current.r_3716_distribute_notice;

if (current.r_3716_distribute_notice){
gdt.gs.daysAgo(1);
task.due_date=gdt;
}

Also tried this:

var gdt = current.r_3716_distribute_notice.getGlideObject();

if (current.r_3716_distribute_notice) {

gdt.subtractDays(1);

current.due_date=gdt;

Ah oke good info!

Looks like the current.r_3716_distribute_notice is already wrong, it's presenting undefined, so the addDays etc will not work. Can you double check the name? Also is it an actual field, or a variable? If variable, try current.request_item.variables.r_3716_distribute_notice

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

Please try this

current.due_date = gs.nowDateTime();
var duedate= current.r_3716_distribute_notice.getGlideObject();
duedate.addDays(-1);

Thank you for the reply.  It didn't work either.  Very frustrated with this "simple" script.

You mention variable. Are you mapping your scripts to that variable, or to a field on the form. 

current.r_3716_distribute_notice appears to be a field. If this is a variable, you need to go through the variable pool first:

current.variables.r_3716_distribute_notice
