In Applescript I try to set the create date of an existing record. I use:
set creation date of theRecord to theCreationDate
with theCreationdate
containing "2020-05-14T06:50:25Z"
.
However the date of the record doesn’t seem to update.
When I instead create a new record (via create record with {.... creation date:theCreationDate,...}
) then it works!
Any idea how to fix this?
Is the class of theCreateDate a string (containing a formatted date) or a date? A date is required.
Aha! Thanks!
The date comes from the line
set theCreationDate to (value of XML attribute named "time" of theElement) as string
That’s the culprit. - Just strange that it works in the create record with
construct…
So I guess I have to figure out how to convert in Applescript a "2020-05-14T06:50:25Z"
-like string into a date
class…
