Dateadded property returns as a "date" type

Help & Support
1

Hi.
I noticed something that isn't documented anywhere.
When retrieving the value from item.metadata.special.dateadded, DOpus.TypeOf() reports the value as date, not object.Date.
So you can't use normal DOpus Date object methods (or JScript date-related ones) on it, you have to convert it first.
Is that a new kind of DOpus object?

It's not an Opus object, VT_DATE is one of the native ActiveScripting data types. You can initialise an Opus date object from it (and probably a JScript date as well, though I'm not sure).
