// Author: Harish Kothandapani
// Purpose: Calculate difference in days between two dates

function getDateDifferenceInDays(startDate, endDate) {
try {
var gdtStart = new GlideDateTime(startDate);
var gdtEnd = new GlideDateTime(endDate);
var diff = gs.dateDiff(gdtStart.getDisplayValue(), gdtEnd.getDisplayValue(), true);
// gs.dateDiff returns seconds when third param = true
return Math.floor(diff / (60 * 60 * 24)); // convert seconds to days
} catch (e) {
gs.error('Error calculating date difference: ' + e.message);
return null;
}
}

// Example usage:
// gs.info(getDateDifferenceInDays('2025-10-01 00:00:00', '2025-10-16 00:00:00'));
