I am trying to use this as the default value for my "Process Year" variable in my Catalog Item, but I am getting an error message, presumably because I am trying to do this in a scoped application.

The exact error message is:

Function nowDateTime is not allowed in scope XXXXXXXXXX. 
Use GlideDateTime instead: new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue()

How can I get this to work as the default value in my variable in my Catalog Item (in a Scoped App)?

Note that I tried the following:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();gdt.getYear();

The error went away, but it did not return any value at all.

Note that my variable type is "Single Line Text".
