    It stays constant because you do not change it.

    Try this:

    for(var d = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2021, 01, 01); d <= aqDateTime.Now(); d = aqDateTime.AddDays(d, 1))

It stays constant because you do not change it.

Try this:

for(var d = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2021, 01, 01); d <= aqDateTime.Now(); d = aqDateTime.AddDays(d, 1))

    Thank you. I really do appreciate the response. I had actually bulled my way through the javascript object method. I did plug this in real quick to my aqConvert version of the function, and yes, it works.

     

    Thank you so much.
