    systemDateGet: Retrieves the session date, if it has been set.
    Remarks: The today function returns the system date.
     
    What's more in "Modules > Common > Common > Session date and time" there is Current date which is non editable and Session date which is editable.
    I investigated the code used for changing session date in SystemDate form and method updateCurrentDateTimeValues():
    currentDate.dateValue(DateTimeUtil::getToday(preferredTz));
currentTime.value(DateTimeUtil::getTimeNow(preferredTz));
currentTimeZone.selection(preferredTz);

sessionDate.dateValue(DateTimeUtil::date(sessiondatetime));
sessionDate.value(DateTimeUtil::time(sessiondatetime));
sessionTimeZone.selection(preferredTz);
    It seems that the non editable date of the System comes from getToday(TimeZone) method.

    Hi Apratim,

    You can make use of DateTimeUtil class.

    DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
