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

On your variable, on the default value tab, enter a script like this:

javascript&colon; new GlideDate():

I hope this helps!
