GlideDateTime

[Brian Lancaster]

I have a task where I put the date in the subject line.   This request gets created every night a 9:30 pm EDT but for some reason the date that gets put into is not the date the request and tasks were created but the next days date.   Why is it note pulling the correct date?   Our system default time zone is US/Eastern

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var date = gdt.getDate();

do a split and you can separate out the date and time..

variablename.split(' ');

I think it is giving you UTC.

var time = new GlideDateTime();

gs.print(time);

var tz = Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York");

time.setTZ(tz);

gs.print(time.getDisplayValue());

This will set it to the correct time zone.   Now you just have to run your date function on that and you should be ok.

Hi Brian,

This is a time zone issue for sure. using this will resolve it

new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();

[Brian Lancaster]

Get display value did not resolve the issue.   It is still showing the day after the created date.

Hi Brian, are you looking something like the following:

((new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue()).split(' ') [0])

Thanks,
