simply use this in default value, why to use ref qualifier?

javascript: new GlideDateTime();

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @ARAVINDA11 ,

You don't need to use reference qualifier for setting default field value. 

Just right click on the field > select configure dictionary.

In the Default value section enter the below code:

javascript <colon> new GlideDateTime(); // replace <colon> with colon symbol (:)
