Smart Editor Defualt datetime Field to now()

NicholasConnolly

I have a built a Web App that uses the Smart Editor widget. The widget mostly meets my needs. However, I would like to set a datetime field to default to now(). Is it possible to default the datetime field to now() within Web AppBuilder?

Nicholas,

   In the Widget.js find this code and update (line 3 is whats changed):

                <SPAN class="keyword token">if</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>presetValueNode<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>declaredClass <SPAN class="operator token">===</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"dijit.form.DateTextBox"</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">||</SPAN>
                  presetValueNode<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>declaredClass <SPAN class="operator token">===</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"dijit.form.TimeTextBox"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>
                  value <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>value <SPAN class="operator token">===</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">""</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">||</SPAN> value <SPAN class="operator token">===</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">null</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">?</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">Date</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">toISOString</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">Date</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>value<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
                <SPAN class="punctuation token">}</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

This also requires you to have the attribute action for the date field set to preset and then no preset value specified in the widgets settings.
