Date format

[Rishabh_N]

In a catalog item, I have a date field where the format appears as dd/mm/yyyy for me, which is causing my script to not execute properly. However, when I impersonate another user, the date format changes to yyyy/mm/dd, and the script executes fine.

I checked System Properties, where the date format is set to yyyy/mm/dd, but for my account, it still shows dd/mm/yyyy. I’m not sure if I made any changes earlier.

Can someone help me understand why this is happening and how to fix it so that my date format also appears as yyyy/mm/dd?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Rishabh_N ,

You can use below script to format date field:

var date = new GlideDate();// replace new GlideDate() with the incoming date
var dateNew = date.getByFormat('yyyy/MM/dd'); // now use the dateNew to set the field value

@Rishabh_N 

no scripting required. you can simply use UI policy and you need not worry about the date format

No Code date validations through (Catalog) UI Policies 

use this in UI policy condition

Your Date relative before 7 days from now
