Workflow change something datetime field autopopulate

[kahlelangkelbraun]

Hello,

Signed up on Bubble after many years once more.

I am looking to auto-populate the datetime field with the current datetime when a checkbox is selected.

In the condition option of the checkbox there is only an option to change the value of that field (checkbox).

In the workflow option, there seems to be no way to set the ‘currentdatetime’ into the datetime field, when checkbox is selected.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

the datetime field

Do you mean an input element?

You can put the input into a group, set the group to a date type, and set the input’s default value to be the group’s value.

Then the workflow can assign current time to the group. If the input has had a user start editing, you may need to “clear” it first by clearing the group.
