use the due date from the description of the RITM to set the RITM due date.

[C_S3]

Hello All,
We have to use the due date from the description of the RITM to set the RITM due date. Use that same due date (-2 weeks) for each of the tasks on that RITM.

I have created one BR for this but it's not working , please let me knowif I'm doing it wrong. 

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var string = current.description;

    gs.info("Due date" + string);

    var date = string.substring(string.indexOf('Due Date: ') + 11,

        string.indexOf('\n')); //if the date ends with a new line

    gs.info("string" + date);

    var dayMonthYear = date.split("/");

    var gDate = new GlideDateTime(dayMonthYear[2].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[0].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[1].trim() + " 12:00:00");

    current.due_date = gDate;

    current.update();

})(current, previous);

Any help would be appreciated .Thank you!

hi @C_S3 

Looks your due date format is 10-10-2024; try bellow updated script once:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    // Ensure the description is not empty
    if (!current.description) {
        gs.info("Description is empty.");
        return;
    }

    // Extract the due date from the description
    var string = current.description;
    gs.info("Description: " + string); // Log the description for debugging
    var dueDateMatch = string.match(/Due Date:\s*(\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{4})/); // Updated regex for DD-MM-YYYY format

    if (dueDateMatch && dueDateMatch[1]) {
        var dateStr = dueDateMatch[1]; // Get the matched date string
        gs.info("Matched Due Date: " + dateStr); // Log the matched date
        
        // Split the date string into day, month, year
        var dayMonthYear = dateStr.split("-");
        
        // Create a GlideDateTime object
        var gDate = new GlideDateTime();
        gDate.setValue(dayMonthYear[2].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[1].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[0].trim() + " 12:00:00"); // Adjust order for GlideDateTime

        // Set the due date only if it's valid
        if (gDate) {
            current.due_date = gDate;
            gs.info("Due date set to: " + gDate); // Log the due date set
        } else {
            gs.info("Invalid date conversion.");
        }
    } else {
        gs.info("No valid due date found in description.");
    }

})(current, previous);

Hello @Rajesh Chopade1 ,
It is working for RITM, but for sc_task the due date is not visible until we closed complete the state.

Try bellow updated script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    if (!current.description) {
        gs.info("Description is empty.");
        return;
    }

    // Extract the due date from the description
    var string = current.description;
    gs.info("Description: " + string); // Log the description for debugging
    var dueDateMatch = string.match(/Due Date:\s*(\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{4})/); // Updated regex for DD-MM-YYYY format

    if (dueDateMatch && dueDateMatch[1]) {
        var dateStr = dueDateMatch[1]; // Get the matched date string
        gs.info("Matched Due Date: " + dateStr); // Log the matched date
        
        // Split the date string into day, month, year
        var dayMonthYear = dateStr.split("-");
        
        // Create a GlideDateTime object
        var gDate = new GlideDateTime();
        gDate.setValue(dayMonthYear[2].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[1].trim() + "-" + dayMonthYear[0].trim() + " 12:00:00"); // Adjust order for GlideDateTime

        // Set the due date only if it's valid
        if (gDate) {
            current.due_date = gDate;
            gs.info("Due date set to: " + gDate); // Log the due date set

            // Now set the same due date for each associated sc_task
            var taskGR = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
            taskGR.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id); // Assuming 'request_item' is the field linking tasks to RITM
            taskGR.query();

            while (taskGR.next()) {
                // Set the due date for the task
                taskGR.due_date = gDate;
                taskGR.update(); // Don't forget to update the record
                gs.info("Due date set for task " + taskGR.number + ": " + gDate);
            }
        } else {
            gs.info("Invalid date conversion.");
        }
    } else {
        gs.info("No valid due date found in description.");
    }

})(current, previous);
