Hello,

In a SharePoint list I have a date field called Date. I need to have this field auto populate with the date that the form was filled out.

What is the best way to achieve this ?

Thank you

  Hello,

   

  you can use SRF in NewForm and as initial value set current date "new Date ();" or you can use standard SP Workflow and populate your Date field with the value of Created column.

   

  If you have already a workflow which is starting when the item is created then it is a better way.

  Thanks Senad Omicevic completely right!

  In addition to your answer, if you want to set a default date e.g. in a month, you can use the following expressions as an initial value of a field within skybow rich forms:

  var result = new Date();
  result.setDate(result.getDate() + 15);
  return result;
