How to auto populate catalog item variable with current date

[WP2]

Hi ALL,

I have a variable with Date Type and I want the variable to auto populate current date. I used onChange client script with below script but no date populated. Could you please help with a script to achieve this requirement. Thank you.

var dFormat = g_user_date_format;

var tdayDate = formatDate(new Date(),dFormat);

g_form.setValue('todayDate', tdayDate);

Hey Rich,

Go to variable dictionary (right click on the variable) and in default value write this: javascript:gs.nowDateTime()

If it works the please mark my answer Correct and Helpful.

Thanks Utpal. It worked for the date. Can you guide me with populatinge the "requestor's TITLE" to a single line text type? Usually there is a field on the user table called title with user's title info. Thanks

Hi,

for logged in user title you need to use this; in the default value of that variable

javascript: gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue('title');

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