Assigning a value to a DateTime field

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:47AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

So I've run into some issues trying to fill a DateTime field with a value. I'm working with a standardized incoming email that I'm parsing up and the section of the email that I'm worried about for this field is formatted like this "Aug 9 2016 9:48AM EDT"

So then I go through a few js back flips to get that formatted into what NS shows as their preferred format for the nlapiSetDateTimeValue function so by the time I perform that function it looks like this "08/09/2016 09:48:00 AM" (I'm also setting the time zone piece to the appropriate Olson value 14 in this case)

Howdy, Stranger!
