Create a Button to Change a Date Field
I would like to have a Button that will update a Date Field with the Current Date. This would update all the Records with the Current Date. Is this Possible?
Forum Discussion
Attached is a screenshot of applying a console script to change the date of all records in a query. This can easily be implemented as a button and you are free to try it in the Mass Update application by changing the date in the script.

There is a small inconsistency in the image above regarding the date in the script and the displayed date in the report as I was repeatedly modifying the date in the console to test the script - it works and it works well.
FWIW, I type these scripts directly into the console and have a lot of other shortcut methods to speed up development and for drill. So I sometimes gloss over details when I post. Feel free to ask if you have questions.
