Default value for a datetime field

From the UI: enter your desired date/time and right click, choose "Set as default"

From the code: put value in the _defaults = {}, e.g.

        _defaults = {
'appointment_date': lambda * a: time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),
        }

Phong,

I am more interested in the code solution. As I don't have much experience in code, where can I apply the _defaults property. I am using the v5 web client and could not find any such property in the View or Object definitions.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Kyr

In your module, after you have declared columns then just type a dictionary
like this

_defaults = {
    'some_datetime_field_name' : fields.datetime.now
}

or alternatively the other solution found above.

But this is not something you find in the web-client (at least I wouldn't
think so). This is something you program. Open up the source code for any
main module and you will see plenty of examples of _defaults being used.
