Hi all,
I have a requirement to get the current date, add a given no of days to that date and set the date to a date field in logged in user's format in a Business Rule. How can I achieve it?

Thanks in advance

Hello @Community Alums ,

Here is the code for your requirement:

    var currentDate = new GlideDateTime();
    
    function addDays(dateTime, days) {
        var gdt = new GlideDateTime(dateTime);
        gdt.addDaysUTC(days);
        return gdt;
    }

    var daysToAdd = 10;
    var newDate = addDays(currentDate, daysToAdd);

    var userDateFormat = gs.getProperty('glide.sys.date_format');
    var formattedDateString = newDate.getLocalDate().getDisplayValueInternal();

    current.your_date_field = formattedDateString;
    
    gs.info("Formatted Date: " + formattedDateString);
