Hi Joshi,

Use below code for time..

var gg = new GlideDateTime();

gs.print('gg'+gg);

var str = gg.toString();

var dateSplt = str.split(' ');

var time = dateSplt[1];

gs.print('hello'+ time);

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response is useful.

In the above code...

var dateArr = str.split('(here it is space) ');

yup its working the date format for the planned start date fields are in dd:mm:year format after the script is running its converting into yy:mm:dd what should be done to keep it in current format .where should i make changes

Hi Bhagyashree, there's a GlideTime function getByFormat you can use:

var gg = new GlideDateTime();
gg.addDays(1);
var date = gg.getDate();
var time = gg.getTime();
gs.addInfoMessage(date);
gs.addInfoMessage(time.getByFormat('HH:mm:ss'));
gs.addInfoMessage(gg);

A couple of notes:

• The documentation suggests not using addDays; use addDaysLocalTime or addDaysUTC instead.   This will account for Time Zone changes and oddities.
• This shows the time in the default system time zone, probably UTC.   If you want it to show your local time, use getLocalTime() instead of getTime().

I need help with something, I have a field that is a string where a enter numbers for a time to completion of a Knowledge Article. I need to change that field to a GlideDuration field, so I need to convert all the Knowledge Articles that has the time in a string to a glideDuration how can I do that with a script? 

Thanks in advance.
