Hi there,
I am using javascript (hooks) to achieve this.

Put the following code in the hooks/TABLENAME-dv.js file (create one if you don't have it yet)

Code: Select all

// populate curent date time for NEW record
$j(function () {
    // check if data (record) exist or not
    if ($j('#TIMEFIELD').val()) return;
    // populate the current date time (using moment.js)
    $j('#TIMEFIELD').val(moment().format('hh:mm:ss A'));
});

* Replace the TABLENAME and TIMEFIELD with yours.
Refresh / clear cache of your browser and the current time should be populated if it is a new record.

Good luck.
