what format should I use to set a date field in netsuite? provide examples

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can set a date field using a JavaScript Date object. The format of the date should be 'M/D/YYYY'. Here is an example of how you can set a date field:

javascript
var date = new Date(year, month-1, day);
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'custrecord_date',
    value: date
});

In the above example, replace 'year', 'month', and 'day' with the actual values. Note that the month is zero-based, so subtract 1 from the actual month number. If you are dealing with date strings and you are not sure about their format, it is recommended to use a Date parsing library. Formats other than ISO 8601 can be problematic. Also, be careful about timezones. The timezone used can differ depending on the user. You can use NetSuite's format module to convert dates to strings and strings to dates using the current user's timezone and format settings. Here is an example of how you can set a date field to "today":

javascript
var today = new Date();
var d = today.getDate();
var m = today.getMonth();
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
today = m + '/' + d + '/' + yyyy; // change the format depending on the date format preferences set on your account
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'custrecord_date',
    value: today
});
