Formatted dates in a Google Apps script

Question

I\'m trying to get a spreadsheet with simple formatted dates when a form is submitted, but all dates, including the timestamp keep getting posted as \"Dec 31 1969 2:00PM\"..

Answer 1

This code takes date of first row which carries "Timestamp", i.e. the new Date ("TimeStamp") so it's getting back the wrong date as getRowIndex return 1:

function formSubmitReply(e) {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var row = sheet.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();
  //try to increment row as below to get row 2
  row++;
  var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
  //increment last row to write to new row to observe new date
  lastRow++;
  // Set the status of a new ticket to 'New'.

  sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("Status")).setValue("New");

  var ticketTime = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("Timestamp")).getValue();

  var subdate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(ticketTime), "GMT-10", "EEE MM/dd/yyyy 'at'   h:mm a");
  //use log window select views-> logs to see your output
  Logger.log("subdate : "+subdate);
  sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("Timestamp")).setValue(subdate);

  var sDate = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("Start Date")).getValue();
  var strtdate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(sDate), "GMT-10", "EEE, MMM dd, yyyy");
  sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("Start Date")).setValue(strtdate);

  var sTime = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("Start Time")).getValue();
  var strttime = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(sTime), "GMT-10", "h:mm");
  //sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("Start Time")).setValue(strttime);

  var eDate = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("End Date")).getValue();
  var enddate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(eDate), "GMT-10", "EEE, MMM dd, yyyy");
  sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("End Date")).setValue(enddate);

  var eTime = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("End Time")).getValue();
  var endtime = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(eTime), "GMT-10", "h:mm");
  //sheet.getRange(lastRow, getColIndexByName("End Time")).setValue(endtime);
}
