Instant Timestamp

I'm a mid-range skill-level FM user/designer. I'm using the standard TimeCard file with some modifications. Regarding entering the time, is it possible to just click in the "Time Start" field and have the current time auto-entered in without typing anything? In other words, I want my employees to be able to just click the field and the current time will automatically be entered.

I remember an older trick with FM where a calc field with two slashes would enter the date but that was with a new record. I want this function to happen whenver a "Time Start/End" field is clicked. Can this be done?

Thanks!

Hi captnemo, welcome :B

Well, yes and no, it sort of depends. Do you want them to also be able to enter some other timestamp other than the current one?

If not, then you can just set the field up as a button, with the script step: Set Field[myButton; Get(CurrentHostTimeStamp)]
