Behavior script to compare three date fields

[Vineela Durbha]

Hi I have three date fields and I would like to compare them.
There is some issue with conversion and it is not working as expected.
Can you help me on this

You'll need to explain what you are trying to do and what you've got so far.

I was trying to compare two date time custom fields using behavior as below.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
import com.atlassian.jira.config.ConstantsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.sql.Timestamp
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
com.atlassian.jira.issue.issuetype.IssueType
import org.joda.time.DateTime
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

FormField GAField = getFieldByName("Planned General Availability Date")
FormField RCdate = getFieldByName("Planned RC Date")

FormField cl=getFieldByName("Change List #")

String dateGA=GAField.getValue()
String dateRC=RCdate.getValue()

cl.setFormValue(dateGA)

Date newDate1=Date.parse("E MMM dd HH:mm:ss 'CDT' YYYY",dateGA)
Date newDate2=Date.parse("E MMM dd HH:mm:ss 'CDT' YYYY",dateRC)

if(newDate1.before(newDate2))
{
GAField.setError("GA date should be greater tha RC date")
}
else if(newDate1.after(newDate2))
{
GAField.clearError()
}

 But the comparision is not working. I think when i change time it is not working.
Can you check this and let me know if any error in this
