Hello,

We have a field with type duration, but am trying to convert it into minutes and pass value on to string field. tried doing

var duration = current.glidefieldonform.getGlideObject().getNumericValue();
gs.log("minutes"+ duration);

var minutes = (duration/1000/60);

gs.log('duration1' + minutes);
current.fieldtobepopulated = minutes.toFixed();

gs.log('duration' + minutes);

it dont work

Hi Sherice,

Try this code:

 var duration = new GlideDateTime(current.glidefieldonform.getValue()); // getting duration and converting to GlideDateTime
    duration = duration.getNumericValue()/1000/60; // calculating the total duration in minutes
    gs.log('Duration in minutes is: ' + duration);
    current.fieldtobepopulated = duration.toString();

Please mark answer as helpful/solved based on impact

Use below code

var i = new GlideRecord('incident');
i.addQuery('sys_id',"41c01200d7002100b81145a3ce610398");
i.query();
if(i.next()){

var h =  i.business_duration.dateNumericValue()/1000;
var hr = h/3600;
var m = hr*60;
gs.info("Minutes value " + m);

}
