Admin -> Custom Fields -> Configure (link is on the right, next to your date custom field) -> Edit Default Value -> Tick "Use current date as the default"

Hi Nic,

Firstly: I am really sorry, It took bit more time to respond to your answer.

I can able to set the default date in the datebox field by enabling the default date option.

Thanks

Nic - what if you only want to default the value in certain screens or transition? Or is there a "set it to current date" like "assign to me" for assignee?

HI Nic,

I haven't tried.

I don't think so, it is possible in JIRA?

If it possible, please give me some tips...

Thanks

thanks for fixing the broken thread.

You're right, defaulting the current date in the post-function is not a good idea.

Well, it's a good idea in some cases, where you don't want the users entering it :-) But, no, I don't think it's right for what you want to do.

Hi Nic,

This is Maggie and I am also using the Jira system. I also created a custom date field and wanted to show the current date on that field instated of user to select a date from calendar like Ganga. I followed what you said to set "Use current date as the default", but it didn't work. When I resolved an issue, the date field was blank, without any value there. Do I need to restart the Jira? Or do you kown what caused the problem? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Maggie

Hi Nic,

Sorry for the disturbance and it works well now. I used previous data to show the default value of the custom date field, it didn't work. While if I create a new bug and then resolve, the date field will be filled with current date as the default value. In short, it works well now, and thank you for your answer.

Best regards,

Maggie
