Action default so it always sets the date as today's date

Options
Dear all,


I have set up a default action using what I thought was 'today's date' for the action date, action completed date and note date.. however it appears that the default setting will only load the date that I originally used. Is there a way of indicating in those fields that I want it to be actually today's date, as opposed to the date I set the default up? 


Thanks in advance,

Charlotte

  • Yep, you actually just leave all of the date information blank in your default set and it should pull in today's date for all of your fields. 
  • Fantastic, I'll try that. Thanks for your help!
  • If you do want to explicitly fill in the date on a default set, you can use F5 to insert the system date, which will always reflect the current date:

  • Both suggestions have helped! For some reason the 'Completed' date would only respond to F5, whereas the others quite happily filled themselves when left blank.


    Much obliged to you both.

    When entering the date in the fields for your default enter "Current system date" and it will default to the date of entry. I was excited to find this solution and happy to share it here. ~ Susan
