Hi @Ajay Singh2 

There you go:

var currentDateObj = new Date();  

var currentDateUsr = formatDate(currentDateObj, g_user_date_time_format);

g_form.setValue('datetime', currentDateUsr);

Hi,

Use new Date(). It will give you current date and time

@Ajay Singh2 

you want to auto-populate the variable when form loads?

OR

you want to set the variable when some other variable changes?

Here is the syntax

Date variable

var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_format);
g_form.setValue('variableName', today_date_str);

Date/time variable

var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_time_format);
g_form.setValue('variableName', today_date_str);
