Hi, I have a Suitelet that exposes two date fields (date from and date to). I am trying to grab the user input date in the suitelet and use them as a saved search criteria within the script. Here is a snippet of code I am using to achieve so, where dates are being obtained from `urlParams`:

var deliveryDateFrom = format.format({
    value: new Date(urlParams.custpage_delivery_date_from),
    type: format.Type.DATE
});
var deliveryDateTo = format.format({
    value: new Date(urlParams.custpage_delivery_date_to),
    type: format.Type.DATE
});

var deliverydatefilter = search.createFilter({
    name: 'shipdate',
    operator: 'within',
    values: [deliveryDateFrom, deliveryDateTo]
});
objSearch.filters.push(deliverydatefilter);

The issue I am having is when I format the dates obtained from

urlParams

using

format.format

, the dates I am obtaining is one day behind the dates entered by the users. For example: user enters range of

6/15/2022 to 6/18/2022

, after using

format.format

on those dates, I receive

6/14/2022 to 6/17/2022

. What is the issue with my code?

almost certainly a timezone issue. you're only caring about the date, but a date object HAS a time associated with it too. it will use its own local time to interpret a date, but if you've removed the time data, it will just assume midnight UTC i think? and then your TZ offset will take it to a different date

Thank you! I did realize as well that it was a timezone issue. I was wondering if NS had any method of getting just the date from a datetime field without changing the timezone

date type fields dont really go into timezone stuff

right. what would you suggest to do here? Is my best bet to parse the date from the datetime string and use it in the saved search filter?

do nothing, just put the string you get from the url parameters into the search filter
