here is the code for workflow "waiting for condition" - 

answer = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), current.variables.u_deactivation_date, true);

 

bhut if i try the same code in flow designer script action  as  below  - 

var now = new GlideDateTime();

 var glideTo = inputs.u_deactivation_date;
    var dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(now, glideTo).getDisplayValue(); //line 3

    var hour = dur.getByFormat('HH'); 

outputs.datdiff = hour;

Hi,

Could you please explain what you are trying to achieve with this script?

I'm asking because there might be an alternative as you are referring to "wait for condition".

Hi,

I wrote a Flow designer tool for date comparison that is free to use a while ago. Use if you like.

Regarding your script, the GlideDateTime.subtract() method requires that you pass it 2 GlideDateTime objects, and currently the second one is probably evaluated as a String, which will generate an error.

To correct, write something like this:

var now = new GlideDateTime();
var glideTo = new GlideDateTime(inputs.u_deactivation_date.toString());
var dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(now, glideTo).getDisplayValue();
