Dropping Time and Time Zone Information from Date in Scrip
Hi everyone, I was wondering about how I could take the value of the below and drop everything following the date. I don't need the date-time, just the date. This is extracted from a field to be put into the subject for easier management. $CS.getValue("GUDF_DATE1"); The value pulled from the field is very long and unsightly for a subject line. Is there any way to do this? Is the scripting language vanilla JavaScript? Or is it something a little more esoteric? Thanks, Devin

Business Rule to convert issue created via email to request template
Hi there! I have a business need to be able to convert an issue ticket that comes in and is created via the email process to a request template. The reason is that the issue templates don't have the ability to have tasks assigned by default. Is there a script that we could execute in a business rule to convert the incoming ticket to a service request, instead of it being an issue. That way we can have tasks on the ticket by default. If there's another solution you can think of, I'm open to suggestions.
