Why add days not working when using glide date function?

[KM SN]

var today = new GlideDate();

gs.print(today);

var tmrw = today.addDaysUTC(1);

gs.print(tmrw);

tmrw is printing as undefined? what might be the reason for this?

Hi @KM SN 

Try this

var today = new GlideDate();
gs.print(today);
today.addDaysUTC(1);
gs.print(today);

addDaysUTC - Adds a specified number of days to the current object but doesn't return any value, so tmrw is showing as undefined

You can use the same object 'today'

Most of the handy functions available in GlideDateTime are not in GlideDate.  Use GlideDateTime, then you can get just the date from that if you want.
