invalid date value (must be D/M/YYYY) even though the date is 13/5/2026 and the expdate is a dynamic changing date but for example it could be 13/5/2026 and when i use this expDate = format.format({ value: expDate, type: format.Type.DATE }); it returns Invalid type NaN, use Date

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like the issue is related to the way you're setting the date value in NetSuite. The

setValue

method expects a Date object, not a string. When you use

format.format

, it returns a string, which is not what

setValue

is expecting. Here's a corrected version of your code:

javascript
let expDate = new Date();
expDate.setDate(expDate.getDate() + 1); // or whatever logic you have to set the date

purchaseReq.setValue({
    fieldId: 'duedate',
    value: expDate
});

In this code,

expDate

is a Date object, which is the correct type for the

setValue

method. Also, please note that the date format

D/M/YYYY

is not recognized by JavaScript's Date object. JavaScript expects dates in the format

MM/DD/YYYY

. If your date is in a different format, you'll need to convert it to the expected format before creating the Date object. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
