Wont that get me the month as a number? I need it as a string 

ex: not 04, but instead as 'April'

Hi JJG

Have you tried this? 

this line code giving month as "April" instead of "04".

Exactly what do you want?

Look at this

Hi,

use this in the before insert BR

var year = new GlideDateTime().getYear();

var gd = new GlideDate();

var monthName = gd.getByFormat("MMMM");

current.<string_field> = monthName + ' - ' + year;

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

Hi JJG,

This is scoped right if I remember most of your other questions?

If so, the solution of Vaibhav will work fine. Only the gs.print will not work, be aware of that.

Kind regards,

No need of Business rule you can pass the default value for the field to be something as below.

javascript:var gdt = new GlideDateTime().getDate();gdt.getByFormat('MMM - YYYY');
