Date support functions for consistent date handling in Liquid script & fetch Create 2 variables: 1. var_today for Liquid scripts 2. var_today_fetch for fetch (data) operations Limitations using var_today: a. Now function returns UTC with date AND time. b. Now function is not always accurate as the value is cached (??). Now = 12/10/2024 12:00:23 PM 1. var_today is an integer used to compare current date to CRM dates (without the time component) in Liquid script var_todayAEST = 12/10/2024 10:00:23 PM var_today = 20241209 Example test run on 13/10/21 10 AM (in AEST) Liquid now returns 12/10/21 11 PM CRM sample record has display date=13/10/21; when retrieved in Liquid (in UTC) it returns 12/10/21 1 PM In Liquid script: Convert CRM date using '| date: "yyyyMMdd" | integer' returns '20211012' To compare to current date as integer var_today needs to have value '20211012' (prior day taking into account time-zone differences) 2. var_today_fetch is date in format yyyy-MM-dd used for fetch XML run directly on database Fetch resolves date's time component var_today_fetch = 2024-12-10 Example test run on 13/10/21 10 AM (in AEST) CRM sample record has display date=13/10/21; when retrieved in Liquid (in UTC) it returns 12/10/21 1 PM In Fetch to test current date need to set 'value="2021-10-13"'
