Formatting Today’s Date in dd/mm/yyyy Format

 To generate today’s date in add/mm/yyyy format that reflects local time, not UTC, within a SuiteScript environment.

let today = new Date();
let localDate = new Date(today.getTime() + (today.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000));
let dd = ('0' + localDate.getDate()).slice(-2);
let mm = ('0' + (localDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
let yyyy = localDate.getFullYear();
let formattedDate = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy;

 Explanation

• new Date() -Gets the current system time (in UTC)
• getTimezoneOffset() -Returns the difference in minutes between UTC and local time
• today.getTime() + offset -Adjusts the timestamp to reflect local time('0' + val).slice(-2). Ensures 2-digit formatting (e.g., “03” instead of “3”)
• formattedDate -Concatenates the values into the desired dd/mm/yyyy string
