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);

I used this client below script, it shows the string value(which I typed) and not shows the date

var abc = g_form.getValue("sys_updated_on");

alert("last updated on "+ abc);
