Set Date and Time to Next Day at Specific TIme

[Marques2]

I'm attempting to set the date and time for a field on a catalog item. I'm calling it a "Need by Date". The requirement is to default the date and time 1 day out, and set the time to 7:00:00 that day. Can someone help configure this? I'm using a GlideDateTime (addDay(1)) and GlideTime (setValue) which is adding 7 hours to the current date/time.

Here's the script I'm using:

javascript:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var gtime1 = new GlideTime();

gdt.addDays(1);

gtime1.setValue("07:00:00");

gdt.add(gtime1);

gdt.getDisplayValue();

Here is What's Happening:

If the current date and time were: 02-09-17 15:00:00

The catalog item form will load and display: 02-10-17 22:00:00

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Try the follwing code in Background Script and see if you get the right answer.

	var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
	gdt.addDays(1);
	var newd = gdt.toString().slice(0,10) + " 07:00:00";
	task.start_date = newd;
