GlideDateTime(Parameter) – Here the parameter is containing the value of the date time, means if you want to make the some value as the default in the parameter orr you want to pass some date time in the parameter then you may use this method

var start=new GlideDateTime(‘2022-02-02 12:00:00’);

var end =new GlideDateTime(start);

gs.info(end);

add(Parameter) – If you want to add the any specific Date Time Value to the object then you may use this method
