Set default time on a date/time field

[booher04]

Hello - is there an easy way to set a default time on the date/time field variable?  We have a need for the date picker to default to 8:00am EST when you open the calendar to pick the date/time.

change your script includes to below

var now = GlideDate(); //Now Date
return now.getLocalDate();

I got it working using below script

function onLoad() {
	var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');
	ajax.addParam('sysparm_name', 'nowDateTime');
	ajax.getXML(function () {
		var test = ajax.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){
			var response = JSON.parse(answer);
			//alert(response.datetime);
			g_form.setValue('date_time_deployment', response.datetime);
		});
	});
}

var MyDateTimeAjax = Class.create();
MyDateTimeAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

	nowDateTime: function () {
		var Date = new GlideDate(); 
		var datetime = (Date + ' 08:00:00');
		var response = {};
		response.datetime = datetime;
		return JSON.stringify(response);
	},
	type: 'MyDateTimeAjax'
});
