Auto populate Current Date time in a field?

[naveenmyana]

Hello,

I have a requirement to autopopulate current date time a field when we click on a link in the notification, I am trying to generate the URL using below:

Click Here:  ${URI+&sysparm_begin=gs.nowDateTime()}   but this is just not giving me anything.

Any suggestions on how we can achieve this, Please share your thoughts on this one.

Try this and see if it works

 ${URI+&sysparm_begin=ONToday@javascript:gs.beginningOfToday()@javascript:gs.endOfToday()}

Hi,

Write a notification mail script like below and include that in your notification.

Name: printDateTime

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

          // Add your code here
var currDate =  gs.nowDateTime();
	template.print('<a href="' + gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri') + '&sysparm_begin='+currDate+'">' + 'Click Here111' + '</a>');
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Then in your notification, wherever you want that link, simply call like this

${mail_script:printDateTime} 

I checked in my dev instance and it is generating the link with the date and time correctly.

Mark the comment as a correct answer and also helpful once worked.
