Current Date Form Field
Where are my Java gurus?
I have a template document for a form I use all the time. The only thing I update on this form is the date. How would I automate this so the date is current every time I open the template. I could use a stamp, but that’s almost as fast as updating the existing text.

I’ve found this before: –
To get the date use the following script
- Name a text box form field “Today”.
- Open the Properties of that form field.
- Under Format, choose Custom as the Category and then click Edit.
- Enter this JavaScript and then click OK.
var f = this.getField(“Today”);
f.value = util.printd(“mmm/d/yyyy”, new Date());
I think it work…..🤔

Thanks @Vince I’ll have to try that.
As a workaround, I created a custom tool that stamps the date in the correct location, flattens the document, and opens the Save As window, all in one button.

Sounds rather clever @troy-degroot !
I tested out the code that I sent through and all you have to do is open the document then save it for the date to update.

Troy,
Do you mind sharing theat code? I am trying to find examples of JavaScript and interacting with Bluebeam.
Thanks!

Turns out I didn’t save my tool after I created it. 🤣 I need to recreate it and will share it.
