hoursago will use system time and not user time? Correct?

Hi Kalai,

You are right. it is using system time.

When I am changing time zone, Start date/time field is changing accordingly but End Data/time is not changing.

Thanks & Regards

Hi All ,

Thanks for reply .

I got solution for this requirement. Client Script Date/Time Functions .

function onLoad() {

var cdt = g_form.getValue('startdate'); //Choose the field to add time from  

var addtime = 36; //The amount of time to add  
var addtype = 'hour'; //The time type.   Can be second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year.  
 
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');  
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'addDateTimeAmount');  
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', cdt);  
ajax.addParam('sysparm_addtime', addtime);  
ajax.addParam('sysparm_addtype', addtype);  
ajax.getXML(doSomething);  


function doSomething(response){  
  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");  
    //You could then take the new Date/Time answer and set the value of another field.  
    // g_form.setValue('expected_start', answer);  
//g_form.enddate.setDisplayValue(answer);
alert("enddate :" +answer);  
g_form.setValue('enddate', answer);
}  

 

}

Thanks & Regards
