Javascript button to update field with button and redirect to page if update is success

I have a JS button to update a text field with todays date and then redirect to a different page. I'm not sure why it always errors.
  
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/39.0/connection.js")}

    var opp = new sforce.SObject("Opportunity");
        opp.Id = "{!Opportunity.Id}";

    var today = new Date();
    var dd = today.getDate();
    var mm = today.getMonth();
    var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

    if (dd < 10) { 
            dd = '0' + dd;
        } 
        if (mm < 10) { 
            mm = '0' + mm;
        }
    
    opp.Docusign_Send_Date__c = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy;

    var result = sforce.connection.update(opp);

    if(result[0].success === "true"){
        window.location = 'PAGE-REDIRECT-URL-HERE';
    }
    else{
     
   alert(
            "An Error has Occurred. Error: " +
            result[0].errors.message
        );
    }

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Greetings to you!

You need to use var result = sforce.connection.update([opp]); instaed of var result = sforce.connection.update(opp);

Please try below code: 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/39.0/connection.js")}

    var opp = new sforce.SObject("Opportunity");
        opp.Id = "{!Opportunity.Id}";

    var today = new Date();
    var dd = today.getDate();
    var mm = today.getMonth();
    var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

    if (dd < 10) { 
            dd = '0' + dd;
        } 
        if (mm < 10) { 
            mm = '0' + mm;
        }
    var monthDateYear = dd + "/" + mm + "/" + yyyy;
    opp.Docusign_Send_Date__c = monthDateYear
    var result = sforce.connection.update([opp]);

    if(result[0].success === "true"){
        //window.location = "PAGE-REDIRECT-URL-HERE";
        location.reload();
    }
    else{
     
   alert(
            "An Error has Occurred. Error: " +
            result[0].errors.message
        );
    }

I hope it helps you.
