    Good morning ,
    This causes an error and crash
    date = Date(date,86400);
    todaylabel(date);
    where date = Date() ; // todays date
    Runtime Error
    An error occurred while reading key year ([<CREOApplication 0x61300004fc00> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key year.)
    Trying to advance the day by 1 day
    Regards
    Joel

    Hi @Joel_Eisenstat do you have a sample project?
    I don't understand what todaylabel is and I am not able to reproduce the crash.

    var time = Date(datetime); // datetime = 2018-05-02 00:00:26+00
    var hour = time.hour ; // ----> this causes an error
    Runtime Error
    An error occurred while reading key hour ([<CREOApplication 0x613000011840> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key hour.).

    Hi @Joel_Eisenstat I was able to identify the issue and fix an issue.
    Basically you are using the Date init in a wrong way.

    Date with one parameter expects it to be a number as reported from the documentation:
    http://docs.creolabs.com/classes/Date.html
    For example: var d = Date(120);

    A correct error message will be reported in the upcoming new release.
    Thanks!

    Ok , and that number is seconds in so far as the Date function is concerned ie time interval - day = 86400 ? Always convert to seconds for date manipulation ?

    Still funky around the function dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970(timeInterval: Float)
    crashes Creo during manipulation , writing to console , etc.
    Deleted associated methods and started over and now seems to be ok.

    Got it
    dateseconds = Int(date.timeIntervalSince1970);// put day in seconds
    var newdate = dateseconds + 86400 ; // add 1 day
    date = Date(newdate,basedate); // get date via basedate
    Console.write(date); //ok

    var base = "1970-01-01" ;
    basedate = Date( base, "yyyy-dd-MM", "EST") ; // 1970 to Date object
    basedateseconds = basedate.timeIntervalSince1970;

    I think date manipulation should be easier ?
    Regards,

    You are right @Joel_Eisenstat, date manipulation should be easier.
    That's the reason why we added the following methods/properties to the new upcoming beta:

    Properties

    var timeIntervalSinceNow: Float The interval between the date object and the current date and time. (read-only)
    
    var timeIntervalSince1970: Float The interval between the date object and 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. (read-only)
    
    var era: Int Extract era from current date. (read-only)
    
    var year: Int Extract year from current date. (read-only)
    
    var month: Int Extract month from current date. (read-only)
    
    var day: Int Extract day from current date. (read-only)
    
    var hour: Int Extract hour from current date. (read-only)
    
    var minute: Int Extract minute from current date. (read-only)

    var nanosecond: Int Extract nanosecond from current date. (read-only)
    
    var weekday: Int Extract weekday from current date. The weekday units are the numbers 1 through N (where for the Gregorian calendar N=7 and 1 is Sunday). (read-only)
    
    var weekdayOrdinal: Int The weekday ordinal unit describes ordinal position within the month unit of the corresponding weekday unit. For example, in the Gregorian calendar a weekday ordinal unit of 2 for a weekday unit 3 indicates "the second Tuesday in the month". (read-only)
    
    var quarter: Int Extract quarter from current date. (read-only)
    
    var weekOfMonth: Int Extract the original week of a month calendar unit. (read-only)

    Fantastico !!! It pays to put this module on hold for beta 19
    Are you able to estimate a time frame ?
