I am using the below code in business rule to get the change start date and split the date and time values and insert into custom table.
While inserting the record in custom table, the value has to be in eastern time zone. Since the date and time are string field in custom table, I am facing difficulties when the user is in different time zone.
Example: If the user is in Central time zone, the display value of the date is copied into target field. However before copying it has to be converted to Eastern time zone irrespective of user time zone.
Can anyone help me on this?
if(current.start_date.getDisplayValue()!=""){
var date_time = current.start_date.getDisplayValue();
var date_split = date_time.split(" ")[0];
var time_split = date_time.split(" ")[1];
var month = date_split.split("-")[0];
var day = date_split.split("-")[1];
var year = date_split.split("-")[2];
var hours = time_split.split(":")[0];
var minutes = time_split.split(":")[1];
var seconds = time_split.split(":")[2];
newdate = date_split;
newtime = hours + ":" + minutes;
}
target.u_change_start_date = newdate;
target.u_start_time = newtime;
