Date and Time - Today's Date

[Cosmo]

Hi All,
I've created a Date & Time attribute to be used on a new soft type document. It has a default date when you create it. This means that each time I create a new object, I'll see the default date instead of today's date. Does anyone know if there is a value I can enter into this field so that it always defaults to today's date instead of some arbitrary date?

I didn't have the exact issue. I just wanted it to not populate a value
for the attribute. To do this you can change the AllClients.xml file.

This is located under
<loadpoint>\codebase\config\logicrepository\xml\AllClients.xml


You can add an element like the following example


<elementgroup>
<logiccontext datatype="WCTYPE|wt.doc.WTDocument|&lt;Soft" type=" name=">" />
<objectattributes id="ObjectAttributes">
<attributeeditfield id="IBA|EffectiveDate"&lt;br"/>defaultValueDisplayMode="none" />
<attributeeditfield id="IBA|EndDate"&lt;br"/>defaultValueDisplayMode="none" />
</objectattributes>
</elementgroup>


This set's the Default Value for two attributes to none. They are required
attributes so the UI will make sure the user has populated them with the
correct values.

Not sure if there is a way to put a default value in here too.
