How to auto populate a date field in a service catalog

Thereza Van der · ‎03-03-2025

Hi everyone 🙂

I want to have a date field in a catalog item that is automatically populated with the current date as soon as the catalog item is opened.

What is the best way to do this?

Regards

Thereza

javascript&colon; new GlideDate():
