Field type determination

[bonsai]

I would like to perform processing only on fields of type "Date/Time". (server side script)

I am thinking of storing all fields in an array and processing them, and only making judgments and processing in the case of date/time fields.

Is there a way to get the field type?

Hello @bonsai,

You can use the 'typeof()' method to determine the type of your specified field. Please refer to the below code snippet for the reference:

Is it possible to know the type of the field ('internal_type' in the dictionary record) rather than the type of value to set in the field?

Hi,
You can get the type in server-side code referring below script-

var grInc = new GlideRecord('incident');
grInc.query('priority', '1');
 
var field = grInc.getElement('sys_updated_on');
var ed = field.getED();
 
var isEdge = ed.getInternalType();
gs.info(isEdge);
