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?

It's a date only field and also I don't think that's available in scoped apps.

And was already suggested above 😞

just "today()" seems to work

In case anyone else has also tried all the options above to no avail...

javascript:new GlideDate();

does indeed work just fine, but you need to create a net new record to test with. (:
