Subtraction of date from creation date

 Hi All, 

I using RTC 3.0.1.1 and trying to create a new date attribute which is to display creation date - 1. 

I have tried to use dojo.date.add(dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(workItem.getValue("com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.creationdate")), "day", -1)  and it is not working. 

I'm not sure what is wrong with this. I would appreciate any help on this. 
Thanks in Advance

 You have to return a Date object, not sure on the exact syntax, but something like:


var newDate = dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(new Date(myDate), {milliseconds:true, zulu:true});

where myDate is the output of your command above.
