Date math problem

[George P]

Hello,

I am attempting to use GlideDate to calculate the difference between today and a saved date, but I keep getting the time included with the GlideDate object (even though everything says that doesn't happen.

I ran this script as a test:

var today = new GlideDate();
today.getByFormat('yyyy-mm-dd');
gs.print('Get by format numeric value: ' + today.getNumericValue());

var todayManual = new GlideDate();
todayManual.setDisplayValue('2025-10-07');
gs.print('Set by display value numeric value: ' + todayManual.getNumericValue());

The result is 2 different numbers.

*** Script: Get by format numeric value: 1759851173663
*** Script: Set by display value numeric value: 1759795200000

I need to get the second value for today.
