Set date field to today's date by default

[JJG]

Hello,

I have a date field on a form that I would like to be set to today's date by default.

I tried to set the default to: javascript:new GlideDate().getDisplayValue(); It doesn't seem to be working, what am I missing?

That is what I tried in my initial attempt, check the picture with my question.

Hi,

Please use:

javascript:new GlideDate();

Result:

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct. Thanks!

That's not working. Very confused. Could this be because it is a scoped app?

Working for me

Try clearing your instance cache since you've tried like 32 things, haha...

Type: "cache.do" in left-hand navigation and press enter, then check date field.

I'll just echo this once more about clearing cache because there's really no reason why this basic thing you're trying to do has 23 replies. So I'm going to suspect that there's some system issue that has been introduced or something.
