Is there a way to have a button to set date and time into a field

[Shash]

Hi all,

I have a group of tasks as tiddlers. I am trying to capture the date and time for each of the tasks (after they are complete) by adding a button. So once I press the button I want the current date and time to be in added into a field. 

Can you please help me on this. 

Thanks!

Use the <$action-setfield> widget, like this:

<$button>

   <$action-setfield timestamp=<<now "YY.0MM.0DD.0hh0mm0ss">>/>

   click me!

</$button> 

"timestamp" is the target fieldname in the current tiddler and "YY.0MM.0DD.0hh0mm0ss" is the date format to save.  You can change these to suit your specific purposes.  If you want to write a field in a tiddler other than the current tiddler, add $tiddler="NameOfTiddler" as another parameter of the <$action-setfield> widget.

enjoy,
