Try below code:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var date =gdt.getDate();
date.addYears(3);
gs.print(date);
gs.print(gdt);

Just add one more line to your code:

var gd = new GlideDateTime();
gs.print(gd);  // Now
 gs.print(gd.addYears(3)); // undefined, since addYears hasn't got a return value
gs.print(gd); // in 3 Years, gd is modified

The add... methods do not have a return value, but modify the GlideDateTime Object itself. gd will change it's value.

Hi,

Please refer below script as it is working  .

var date_time =gs.nowDateTime();
var gdt =new GlideDateTime();

gdt.setDisplayValue(date_time );
gs.info(gdt);
gdt.addDays(5);
gs.info(gdt);

Please mark this answer as Correct/Helpful .

Hi Jyoti,

If you are still facing this issue, try the below one.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {


 
 if(current.retirement_date == ''){
  
  //var gdt = new GlideDate();
  var gdt_comp = new GlideDateTime();
  var gdt_acc = new GlideDateTime();
  var new_date ='';
  
  //Scheduled retirement is 3 years for Computer hardware
  if(current.model_category.getDisplayValue() == 'Computer'){
   //timeToAdd = 1096;
gdt_comp.addDaysUTC(1096);
    new_date = gdt_comp;
   gs.log('test----1'+new_date);
  }
  
  //Scheduled retirement is 2 years for Accessory hardware
  else if(current.model_category.getDisplayValue() == 'Accessory'){
   gdt_acc.addDaysUTC(730);
    new_date = gdt_acc;
   gs.log('test2---'+new_date);
  }
  
  current.retirement_date =  new_date; 
  gs.log('test3----'+current.retirement_date);
 }
 
})(current, previous);

Hope this helps!!

Thanks,

I want to use a schedule in script to figure out if they were business days. Can this be done? Thanks
