I have one scenario , that i was practicing for :

You are asked to format the date and time in a specific format whenever a new record is inserted.
Ø Write a Script Include that accepts a date as input and formats it to DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM format.

How can we achieve this by using script include and how can we test it by using business rule.

@purnendutiw  : To Achieve your requirement you can follow the given steps :

Step 1 : 
Create a script include and Save this script as a Script Include with the name DateFormatter
Step 2 :
write the given script in the created Script Include and save it

// Convert input date to GlideDateTime
        var gdt = new GlideDateTime(inputDate);

        // Extract individual components
        var day = gdt.getDayOfMonthNoTZ(); // Day of the month
        var month = gdt.getMonthUTC() + 1; // Month (0-based, so +1)
        var year = gdt.getYearUTC(); // Year

        var hours = gdt.getHourOfDayUTC(); // 24-hour format
        var minutes = gdt.getMinuteUTC(); // Minutes

        // Convert to 12-hour format with AM/PM
        var period = hours >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM';
        hours = hours % 12 || 12; // Convert 0-hour to 12-hour format

        // Pad day, month, and minutes with leading zeros
        day = ('0' + day).slice(-2);
        month = ('0' + month).slice(-2);
        minutes = ('0' + minutes).slice(-2);

        // Construct the formatted date
        var formattedDate = day + '/' + month + '/' + year + ' ' + hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + period;

        return formattedDate;

Step 3: 
Create a business rule and write the following code to test it.

var formatter = new DateFormatter();
var inputDate = '2025-01-27 15:30:00'; // Example input date (in UTC format)
var formattedDate = formatter.formatDate(inputDate);
gs.print('Formatted Date: ' + formattedDate);
