Date in Requested Ite is coming in as in invalid formatted date when set in a run script in the workflow - Support and Troubleshooting

Date in Requested Ite is coming in as in invalid formatted date when set in a run script in the workflow Description  Date Field has an invalid date of 04-01-0170

Field is of Type "Date" in the Form

Cause The script is using

current.u_date = gs.daysAgo(-365); or this happens if you use any other API that returns a Date Time Value and setting it to a Date Field

daysAgo(Number days) Returns a date and time for a certain number of days ago. String The GMT in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. ///returned format u_date is Date Type and you are setting a DateTime type directly so time component is getting converted to a weird date and should not be assigned directly without parsing

Resolution var gdt = new GlideDateTime(gs.daysAgo(-365)); current.u_date = gdt.getDate();

Using getDate() API along with dayAgo will render the Date properly
