How to set current date in the Date field?

[Anusha Savanth]

Start date is a Date Field. It should populate current date only when the B choice is selected on the A field.

Please help me.

@Anusha M 

this should work fine

javascript: var dt; var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); dt = gdt.getLocalDate(); dt;

OR

javascript: new GlideDateTime().getLocalDate();

Hi,

I just set the default to "now".

Write a ONCHANGE client script 

var currentDate = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];
g_form.setValue('start_date',currentDate);

@Anusha M 

why to use client script when it can be done by server side without any script using default value?
