Hello,

I have a form in which users can track time in/time out for specific tasks related to a project. I would like to improve the form by having the user click on a field and having the time automatically update in the filed. I assume you could do this with a button that populates a field, but can you convert a button to appear as a value?

Thanks!
Joe

I hope I understood your task right.
To show the current time in a field you can use a simple FormCalc script in the enter event of the field.

$.rawValue = Num2Time(time(), "HH:MM:SS")
The time in the field is always updated the user enters the field.

Hi,

Not necessarily the current time, but the time that they will start a task and end a task. I don't want the fields to show the same time.

I currently have the form setup with fields that are user entered.

Have you tried using the script in the 'click' or 'mouseUp' action?
