In my app, i have a blank textbox and a button.

I need functionality that when user click on button. Textbox should autofilled with current date & time .

Currently the date is reflecting in display form after submit but when we are editing that record in edit page that text box is showing blank. I need that should contain the submit time..

Help anyone aware of it.

Hi @Ali_sam

Set the button OnSelect property to this:

UpdateContext({varTimestamp: Now()})

And the Default property of your text box to varTimeStamp

Every time the user clicks the button the variable will be updated to the current timestamp.

Hello,

You have to use a variable and the Text() function :

In your Button.OnSelect : UpdateContext({vCurrentTime:Text(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")})

Replace "dd/mm/yyyy" by desired format

In your TextInput.Default : vCurrentTime

You can add a button or an icon to clear the textinput with : UpdateContext({vCurrentTime:""})

Are you using a form to submit?
Also what is your data source? (SharePoint List, SQL etc...)

Okay - so you may have a column in your SharePoint list called Created which logs when then entry was added in. I'm assuming that this is the case, if not then you'd just need to create a time logged column and set it so it defaults to current date/time

Actually it is a form. When user submit the form after that when approver open it & approved or denied then this is needed. Then the approved/denied time should be submit.
