Way to automatically update date and time by clicking a button?

[Josh]

I know if you have a date and time field, when you first open the form, the
date and time defaults to that date and time. Is there a way to add a button
so if i click the button it will automatically update the date and time to
when I clicked the button? Thanks!

Hi,
Take a text field and in button onclick event write below code.
XPathNavigator xn = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1",
this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(DateTime.Now.ToString());
Here field1 is the text field.
Hope this helps.

You can also put rules in the button and do it without coding

4.Click Add, and then click Add action.
5.Select ‘Set a field value’ in ‘Action’ drop down, Select the date time
