If you want to use current time and date on different tables, the use this script include:

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create(); 
MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, 
{ 
nowDateTime: function () 
{ 
return gs.nowDateTime(); } 
});

call this S.I in onload client script:

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

It's supposed to be a Display business rule, not a Before.

Did you do the onLoad client script as well? It's a two part solution.

suryapulletikur · ‎07-17-2017

Yes Of course i did the both

Client Script :-

Business Rule :-

And Final Form :-

It was showing Undefined...?

OK, I think I see.

Q1: Do you want to set Start date and End date or just one?

Q2: Are those fields date or date/time fields?

Issue1: Your business rule is setting g_scratchpad.u_today_date, but the client script is setting the value using u_start_date (undefined.)

Ya Thank you for that now date is working but what about time can you suggest ...?

Time looks like a string to me. Please right click on the field and show me the contents of the popup that appears. It should look the same as this (with the exception of the field name.)
