How to autofill today's date/time in a form

I want users to click a link to record arrival time. Auto-fill and submit. We want to get the exact time that the field is updated.

Updated today

To automatically fill today's date (and time, if enabled for the field in Airtable) when a date field is empty:

  1. Click on the field to open its settings

  2. Go to the Advanced section

  3. Turn on Auto fill field to today by default when empty.

This setting is hidden when a default value is set for the field in the Standard Options section, since it will never be empty in this case.
