Solution

  • Based on your use case I would suggest the following:

    Datebox widget>events>onAttach event enter the following code:

    var today = new Date();
widget.value = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate());

    Then enter the following in the onClick event of your 'Submit button', this will repopulate the datebox widget after a new entry was successfully submitted:

    widget.datasource.createItem(function() {
  var today = new Date();
  widget.datasource.item.Date = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate());
});
