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?

Hey JJG,

The gs.nowDateTime() method is not available in scoped applications.

Try in this way for Scoped application.

RESULT:

It works AS per your requirement for Scoped applications.

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

try :

javascript:new GlideDateTime.getDate();
