Remove time from Date Time field

[jeremyjameshans]

Hello,

I would like to strip out the time on the Due Date field for my Catalog Tasks.

My script to populate is very simple: 

task.due_date = current.variables.requested_date.getDisplayValue();

Is there a way to strip out the time? 

I have tried getLocalDate() and failed badly.

Due date is a date time field you can't remove the time. The best option is probably to set it to the end of the day.

LJ Hazel is correct. Due Date is a Date Time field. If you want to capture just the date, creating a new 'Date' type field would be one option. Otherwise, you can set Due Date to a specific time.

What would the code look like to add 12 hours?

If the due date is date/time, then you cannot just populate date in it. Even if you try to do it, it will add 00:00:00 to the date and show it bcoz its a date/time field.

However, if you want to fetch only date from the date/time field, then you can do like this.

task.due_date = current.variables.requested_date.getDisplayValue();
var gdt = new GlideDateTime(current.variables.requested_date).getDate();
gs.print(gdt);
