Need to Increment Date value from the given Input Date to an incremental number of days

[sahanijuttukon]

Hi @kfir.yosef , Thanks for your help for my earlier issues.

Now i have come across a requirement to increment Date value with a given ‘StartDate’ as input data and from there on i will need to pass some random number of days to increment the Date via a parameter it can be any random incremental number like 3, 7, 8, 5 , 16, 30 and so on.
Based on the Date of the month the value need to be incremental Date with the given parameter values.
Example: If i give date 10/29/2021 and increment value 5 then the output date need to be 11/03/2021
If i give date 12/25/2021 and increment value 8 then the output date need to be 12/02/2022

I tried with Action ‘Set days of a DateTime object’ with My date format as mm/dd/yy, i have input date value as 10/31/21 now i want to add 6 days to 10/31/21 so i get new date as 11/05/21

I am using below function to do so but my new date i am getting is 10/05/21, month value is not getting changed here. I am expecting date value to be changed as 11/05/21

Thanks,

Hi @sahanijuttukon,
Please try to update the addon and check again,
As explained here:

How to Increate a date value by some number of days

Hi @sahanijuttukon, The ‘set days of a date-time object’ does change the month in case the days have been reset as can be seen here: [image] https://forum.testproject.io/t/need-to-increment-date-value-from-the-given-input-date-to-an-incremental-number-of-days/7417/4?u=amit.lacher

It should work as expected.

Hi @Amit.Lacher I tried again but i am still not getting correct value with this action

Hey @sahanijuttukon ,
You need to use the correct date format: MM/dd/yyyy
Note that the M is capital.

[sahanijuttukon]

Hi @Amit.Lacher It worked with Capital ‘M’ but how would we know where to use capital and where to use non capitals in format.

Thanks,

In your case, you used m for minutes and not M for Months.
You can find more information on the representation here:
