Current time option

[magdabryla]

Hello,

I wanted to ask if there is possibility to have a time field that has two options:

1. The time we enter manually

2. Current time

It would be similar to the Date field where we can choose any date or today's date.

Thanks for your help!

I am not sure if you can do it as you suggest but you van have a button next to your time field that set the value of the TimeField to the current time. Like this

If the TimeField format as HH:MM, the script in the click event of the button would be something like:

var d = new Date();
var ThisHour = d.getHours();
if (ThisHour<10) {ThisHour= "0"+ThisHour}
var ThisMinute = d.getMinutes();
if (ThisMinute <10) {ThisMinute = "0"+ThisMinute }
TimeField1.rawValue = ThisHour + ":" + ThisMinute;

@magdabryla What kind of form is it? PDF or Adaptive?

try this on initialize

var event = new Date();

field.rawValue=event.toLocaleTimeString('en-US');

The code does work, but I did it on enter, not initialize. I've done it because it shouldn't be visible when the document is open. Also it allows me to type my own time.

Thanks!
