How to set Date field in Suite Script 2.0

Hi All,
In Suite Script 2.0, setting date is not as simple as setFieldValue(),
Even if you get value using getValue() and try to use setField() , it will try setting value in
format similar to "org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate@3954f57d".

To fix this issue ,
Step 1:  developer should use "N/format" module,
Step 2:  format.format() method
             format.format({value: DateVariableHere, type: format.Type.DATE}),
Step 3:  set this value using  setValue()

myRecord.setValue({
                                            fieldId: 'custbody_id',
                                            value: newValue
                                        });
//============== use below code for date to date field ================
var myDate =  myRecord.getValue({
                                    fieldId: 'custbody_date_one
                                    });   
myRecord.setValue({
                                            fieldId: 'custbody_date_two',
                                            value: format.format({value: myDate , type: format.Type.DATE})
                                        });
//========================  end date to date field =====================

Please note: use parse method to parse from String/date/number to date.

//============== use below code for string to date field =========
var myDateString= "04/26/2020"; var parseDate = format.parse({ value: myDateString, type: format.Type.DATE }); 

//============== end use below code for string to date field =======
