Capturing Date & Time in a Hidden Field

Say you want to capture the date and time in a hidden field, which in turn populates a data source.
This function can be extremely useful when capturing the exact date and time a form was filled out.
Follow this one easy step to capture the date and time:



1. Add a hidden field to your screen with the default value “FORMAT-DATE(now(), ‘MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss’)

The default value will capture the exact day and time this form was filled out. The format you will see in your data source is what is listed in the default value, “MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss”.
