Insert current date

[wwyngaard]

I am using a custom solution to find a set of records to edit. It returns onto a page with the FMP-Record tags. Editing the record works fine but I cannot get it to do a hidden tag to insert the current date in a date field in the file.

my syntax is:

<P><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="APPROVALDATE" VALUE="[FMP-CurrentDate]">/p

Does the currentdate replacement tag work for this?

Thanks,

Wayne

It may need to have the date reformated. E.G. The format may need to be' 19/12/2001', yet the [FMP-CurrentDate] tag is returning a text version of the full-date.

I usually format the date with Javascript.

All the best.
