I have a form which asks the user to to enter a time/time for a request. I would like the form to display the current time/date in the time/date picker. Is this possible? 

 

I don't any restrictions on the date (past/future).

Do you mean you want the current date/time to be the default value of the control? 

If so, on your Nintex Form open the configuration of your date/time picker. Set "Default Value" to "Today"

Glad to be of assistance!


Hi again,

I need to connect this to another item but I seem to lose the default option? Is there another way to acheive both?

For dates, it seems that it disappears. For things like text boxes, you can still do it:

However, since it's connected to a SharePoint column, you can set the default of your SharePoint Column to Today's Date


Thanks again. Much appreciated.
