To get the the object from the date time field.

It's a easy way to convert the value in a date/time field to GlideDateTime Object, is by using getGlideObject() method of the Glide Element Class.

For Eg : 

var gdt = current.start_time.getGlideObject()

Hi Kush,

The getGlideObject() method is used for instantiating any object and not only for date/time field. For example, it can be used for fetching the questions and answers for the variables . Refer https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=b7654faddbd8dbc01dcaf3231f961955
