Hi All,

Please check this as well.

Name: Set Current Date/Time In Field

Type: Client Script

Table:

Description: You can use the following two lines to set the current date and time in a date/time field. This bypasses the problem of getting the value into the proper format and proper timezone:

Parameters:

Script: For more information on running Server Side Script with the client please refer to GlideAjax.

var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax'); 
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime'); 
ajax.getXML(function () { g_form.setValue('put your field name here', ajax.getAnswer()); }); 

System Script Include

// Be sure the "Client callable" checkbox is checked   var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create(); 
MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, { nowDateTime: function () { return gs.nowDateTime(); }

On client side only you can get today date with below script, check if it is useful.

var dFormat = g_user_date_format;

    var tdayDate = formatDate(new Date(),dFormat);

          g_form.setValue('todayDate', tdayDate);

write this 3 lines of code in onChange client script.
