How to autofill today's date in a service catalog field

[katelynlassan]

I am using a "Single Line Text" variable. I would like to know how to pull the current date to auto fill in this field. I have tried a few different client scripts, but cannot get this to work. I have very little knowledge on scripting.

Have you tried the default value in the catalog item definition?

javascript:gs.nowDateTime()

Hi Chuck,

We have a custom date (u_create_date) field which needs to inherit the date value from the OOB sys_created_on (Date/Time) field in user's time zone.

Also, value of the custom date should match with the value of the date stored on the sys_created_on field.

EX: If an user in PST timezone has created a record on Dec 07 2016   22:00:00   PST then when an user from Hong kong time zone views

this record he should see the value of the custom date field according to his time zone.

under configure dictionary, default value

javascript: gs.nowDateTime(), if you need only date javascript: gs.now()

[Gangadhar Ravi]

You can use javascript:gs.now() as default value.

Thanks,

Sai.
