ServicePortal: How can I default a Date/Time field to show current date & time?

[MWright1]

I have a Date/Time field in one of the RITM that I need to default to current date/time.

Using javascript: gs.now(); fills in the Date but the time is 00:00:00.

  

I have tried using : javascript: new Date().toLocaleString();

However, it ends up giving me a weird time.  

It can't be this difficult to just have a default date & time...!  Please help.

Hi @MWright1 
Try the below script in the default value.

javascript:new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();

to see the now time in the logged in user's timezone use this

javascript: var dateTime = new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue(); dateTime;
