How can I convert string date field to Date field

[reddy8055]

Hi,

We are getting date from string field (text box , eg : 2022-06-28 ) and want to convert it to date field. We are getting answer in string format and want to set this value into date format (course_date). Please help.

var emailID = g_form.getValue('user_email_address__completion');
//alert(emailID);
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var ga = new GlideAjax('getCompletionDate');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getCompletionDate');
ga.addParam('sysparm_id', emailID);
ga.getXML(setDate);

function setDate(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
//alert(answer);
//g_form.setValue('course_completion_date', ga.getAnswer());
// var gdt = new GlideDate(answer);
// alert(gdt);
// g_form.setValue('course_completion_date', ga.getAnswer());
g_form.setDisplay('course_date',ga.answer());
g_form.setValue('course_date', ga.answer());
}

 Thanks,

Hi @reddy8055,

Try this in Script include -

var str = this.getParameter("sysparm_id");;
var date = new GlideDateTime(str);
return date.getDate();

Thanks,

Thanks,

How can I add in this script include?

getCompletionDate: function(current) {
        var retVal4 = "";
		var emailID = this.getParameter('sysparm_id');
        gs.log(" ***Email: " + emailID);
        var car = new GlideRecord("u_vta");
        car.addQuery("u_email_id", emailID);
        car.query();
        if (car.next()) {
            gs.log(" ***Course Completion Date ");
            retVal4 = car.u_course_completed_date;
            gs.log(" ***Course Completion Date, retVal4: " + retVal4);
        }
        return retVal4;
    },

HI,

var num=this.getParameter("sysparm_id");//'2022-06-28';
var num1=new GlideDateTime(num);

return num1;
