How to Subtract Years

Subtract days, months, years from a date in JavaScript

You are simply reducing the values from a number. So substracting 6 from 3 (date) will return -3 only.

You need to individually add/remove unit of time in date object

var date = new Date();
date.setDate( date.getDate() - 6 );
date.setFullYear( date.getFullYear() - 1 );
$("#searchDateFrom").val((date.getMonth() ) + '/' + (date.getDate()) + '/' + (date.getFullYear()));

[1] "2008-03-17"

How to subtract a year from a date stored in a variable in shell script?

Played around with it. This seems to work:

as_of_dt='2016-01-01'
as_of_dt_prev_year=$(date --date="${as_of_dt} -1 year" +'%Y-%m-%d')
echo $as_of_dt_prev_year

Note the double quotes that are needed for variable substitution to work.
