Hello, I have a read only Date/Time field that I would like to default showing the current date and time. I have tried adding the below as the default value but doesn't seem to work:

 

javascript: new DateTime();

Hi @Andre8 

 

Follow the steps below

1. Right Click on the Date/Time Dictionary header record and select the view as Advanced.

2. In the Default Value section->checked the use dynamic default and the Value

3. This will resolve your issue.

 

In Case if above doesn't work you can try script as default value

javascript:new GlideDate();

Does this only work on Global tables? This isn't populating the date/time

Yes, It does work.

You can also try the other default value I mentioned.

If still not seeing the date check for followings

1. Check that there is no BR, UI policy or any client script that is clearing the Value for Date/Time field.
