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()); 
});

No Time field i kept glide time type only

Thank you. I made my glide_time field read-only (at the dictionary level) and found that the client script could not set it either. The workaround I had was to make the field editable (uncheck Read-only on the field's dictionary entry) and use the client script to set it to read-only after the value was set like this:

function onLoad() {

if (g_form.getValue('start_date') == '') {

g_form.setValue('start_date', g_scratchpad.start_date);

}

if (g_form.getValue('start_time') == '00:00:00') {

g_form.setValue('start_time', g_scratchpad.start_time);

}

g_form.setReadOnly('start_time', true);

}

If the Read only field on the dictionary is already unchecked, then check our ACLs to provide write access to that field. That's the only way the client script is going to be able to write a value there is if the field is editable.
