Date time Control

[KouassiP]

Hello All , 

I have a field in date/time format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss)

Could you please help me to affect the value to a variable and add some seconds to this value and send the result to a new field (In a catalog client script ) .

IE .  field 1 : 2025-10-22 12:43:00 .

X = field 1 .

Y = (X + 60 seconds) .

Field 2 = Y .

Both fields 1 and fields 2 are in date/time .

Hi @KouassiP,

what is your exact question please? you mentioned a catalog client script, can oyu share it with us? It will be easier for a review or any meaningful help to provide you..

Also, for anything related to time and manipulating it, read this: GlideDateTime - Global

you can use addSeconds(60); 

Let me know what is your blocker. and we can brainstorm totgether.

@KouassiP 

so you want to add 1 minute and set in other variable?

if yes then do this in onChange of 1st variable

something like this but please enhance

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    // Get the value of the source date/time variable
    var originalDateStr = g_form.getValue('source_datetime_var'); // replace with your variable name

    // Convert ServiceNow date/time string to JS Date
    var originalDate = new Date(originalDateStr);

    // Add 1 minute (60,000 ms)
    originalDate.setMinutes(originalDate.getMinutes() + 1);

    // Format as yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (ServiceNow expects this for date/time variables)
    function formatDateTime(dateObj) {
        var yyyy = dateObj.getFullYear();
        var mm = String(dateObj.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
        var dd = String(dateObj.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
        var hh = String(dateObj.getHours()).padStart(2, '0');
        var min = String(dateObj.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');
        var ss = String(dateObj.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0');
        return yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd + ' ' + hh + ':' + min + ':' + ss;
    }

    var newDateStr = formatDateTime(originalDate);
    // Set the target date/time variable
    g_form.setValue('target_datetime_var', newDateStr); // replace with your variable name
}
