Go to around line 364, you'll find this code in there :</p> <pre><code>$element_markup = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOT</code></pre> <p>put these code above that line </p> <pre><code>if ($element-&gt;id == 10) { $element-&gt;populated_value[&#39;element_&#39;.$element-&gt;id.&#39;_1&#39;][&#39;default_value&#39;] = date(&#39;m&#39;); $element-&gt;populated_value[&#39;element_&#39;.$element-&gt;id.&#39;_2&#39;][&#39;default_value&#39;] = date(&#39;d&#39;); $element-&gt;populated_value[&#39;element_&#39;.$element-&gt;id.&#39;_3&#39;][&#39;default_value&#39;] = date(&#39;Y&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>I assume your "date" admin field have id = 10, it should give default value to that field. Anyway I'm curious why you do not use "date_created" field instead ? machform has that field by default in every form. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/submit-date-admin-only#post-5055 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:56:55 +0000 jflatham 5055@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is there a way to add a date field, admin only, to a form that will automatically place the submission date (usually today's date) into the database on the date the form is submitted? </p>
