I feel like I'm going crazy here.... Trying to set the "duedate" field to today and I'm getting the error of "Invalid date value (must be M/D/YYYY)"

let todaysDate = format.format({
                value: new Date(),
                type: format.Type.DATE
            })

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

Logged out todaysDate and got 5/27/2022

just use

new Date()

when using setValue, or make it a string and use

setText

^^^ setValue is expecting a Date Object not a string.

thanks all
