  • In the field properties for your date field, there's an option to default it to the current date.

    In the field properties for your date field there's an option to default it to the current date.

    If the field you're trying to populate is actually a user field type then it should also have an option infield properties to default to the current user.

        Are you asking how to re-position the fields on the form when viewing a single record? Do you know if you're working with the legacy older Forums or the new style form?
