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?

Hi,

update it to below

javascript: new GlideDateTime().getDate()

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

That is not working

Hey JJG,

Try this in default value:

javascript:gs.nowDateTime();

That does not work, remember that the field is not a date/time field, just a date field
