Set date to property through webscript fails ISOFormat

[shikarishambu]

I am trying to upload a document into the repository using a custom webscript derived from sample/upload. I have a date property that I need to set. I have tried to set it directly, provide ISOFormat but I still get the error. What is the correct format to be used to set the date?

Here is how the date value is formated using date.format.js script function

//unout is 3/4/2010
function fnToISO(dt) { 
   var nDate = new Date(dt);
   return nDate.format("isoDateTime");
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is the error

Try to use the Date constructor with all the arguments:

Date yourCustomDate = new Date("2010","02","25");‍

Now it should work.

Hope this helps.

The issue was due to the fact that Alfresco automatically converts the date passed to ISOFormat. I don't need to do that in my script while trying to upload/ update. I need to do that for search
