Please update the old filed back end name in the script .I think you have updated with new field name

var gDateTime = new GlideDateTime(current.u_date.getDisplayValue());

In this line in current.u_Date -- > you need to update the old field back end name  instead of newly created string field name

is there a way I can solve this by using client scripts.

Sorry we cant do it .This is the only way or try using the property that i mentioned below

1) Open sys_properties table

2) search for this property named as "glide.sys.date_format"

3)Change the format according to your requirement from yyyy-MM-dd --> dd-MM-yyyy in value field 

But this would change it across the instance

Please accept the solution if it helped you in understanding

Hello,

By default instance date format is "yyyy-MM-dd",  you simply may use the Application Navigator and navigate to System Properties > Basic Configuration. There, in the form there is a filed called "Date format". You can change the format of the instance to "dd-MM-yyyy" from there and then save the change.

Kindly note that, it will change for whole instance.

Using script also, it will not allow you to set value since date format of field is different.

Thanks
