Help Updating Time Comparison Script

Question

I need to change the following script to evaluate if the timestamp in a custom atribute is older than 1 year than the current date.

# The condition is met if $Context.ConditionIsMet is set to $True.
$Context.ConditionIsMet = $False

$property = "adm-CustomAttributeDate15" # TODO: modify me

# Get attribute value
try
{
    $compareDate = $Context.TargetObject.Get($property)    
}
catch
{
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
    return
}

# Compare dates
$currentDate = [System.DateTime]::UtcNow
$Context.ConditionIsMet = (($compareDate.Date -eq $currentDate.Date) -and ($compareDate.Hour -eq $currentDate.Hour)) 

---

UPDATE

---

I managed to get it myself, this script will work to evaluate if it has been greater than one year compared to the custom data attribute

# Initialize condition to False
$Context.ConditionIsMet = $False

# Define the property to be evaluated
$property = "adm-CustomAttributeDate15" # TODO: Modify as needed

# Try to get the attribute value
try {
    $compareDate = $Context.TargetObject.Get($property)
} catch {
    Write-Error "Failed to retrieve the attribute value: $property"
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
    return
}

# Validate if the attribute is a valid DateTime object
if (-not ($compareDate -is [System.DateTime])) {
    Write-Error "The value of $property is not a valid DateTime."
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
    return
}

# Get the current UTC date
$currentDate = [System.DateTime]::UtcNow

# Calculate the difference in years
$yearDifference = $currentDate.Year - $compareDate.Year

# Check if the compareDate is more than one year ago
if ($yearDifference -gt 1 -or ($yearDifference -eq 1 -and $currentDate.DayOfYear -ge $compareDate.DayOfYear)) {
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $True
} else {
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
}

Hello,

There is actually no need to use scripts. You can use the If <property> <relation> <value> condition in a custom command, business rule or scheduled task:

I tried this and it didn't seem to work. For clarification, I was using a timestamp at first, must it be a date field instead?

Hello,

It does not matter, the condition will work fine for both. If you face issues, please, describe the exact desired behavior and provide screenshots of your configuration.

Let me do some more testing to triple check it did not work as I expected. I certainly could have misapplied the time comparisons.

I've confirmed that works. Thank you.
