Modern DateTime Concepts

Greetings,

I ran across the following post, while trying to understand how to set DateTime values: https://my.skybow.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007691699-Formatting-time-chooser.

This doesn't seem to work in the modern environment. The original concept behind that thread is interesting, if it is still possible.

But, without getting too fancy, I am attempting to:

Set a DateTime (StartTime), to Today's Date & 6:30AM.

It might be as simple as something along the lines of:

=[[StartTime]].format('MM-dd-yyyy h:mm')

=[StartTime]].value('new Date() 6:30')

But I figured it might actually take a bit of JavaScript (moment).

Any help on this?

Thanks!

Dear Kilgore ServiceAccount,

to set the today's date at a specific time into a DateTime field, you could use the following Function Expression e.g. in the Initial Value Configuration:

var today = new Date();
return new Date(today.getFullYear(),today.getMonth(),today.getDate(),6,30);

This is plain JavaScript as documented here: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_dates.asp

Kind regards

Matthias
