Client script not taking effect -Display date

[PatriciaA987250]

Hi,

i've created a client script to set date on one of the form field. When i tested in the new project workspace it is not taking any effect. Could someone provide step-by-step guide on how to achieve this.

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   var currentDate=new Date();

   g_form.setValue('field_name', currentDate);

}

Try this script

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var currentDate=new Date();
   var currentDateFormated = formatDate(currentDate, g_user_date_format);
   g_form.setValue('field_name', currentDateFormated);
}

Hi @PatriciaA987250 ,

 You can use below script to set the current date.

var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_time_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_time_format);

g_form.setValue('your_field_name',today_date_time_str);
