I am brand new to DNN and Dynamic Forms. I had a need to display on screen the current date and time for a new form that was being opened. I had discovered the "Advanced Field Options -> Default Value" field, but was having a problem getting my mind around what it needed to give me what I needed. Here is Chad's solution:

Try setting up a hidden field... Actually make it a textbox field to make sure it's working first, or a textbox field that is read only and then once you get it working change it to a hidden field. Choose to use a SQL Default which is available only for textbox and hidden fields. Within this field try some SQL such as this:

 

Select GetDate() As DefaultValue

 

Also, if you later query the data I do believe there is already a form date/response time column in the DynamicForms_QuestionResponse table.

For my purposes I did not need to hide the field, but the "read only" attribute was important. It is also true that there is a field in the database table which captures the date and  time of the submit.

I found that if I only wanted the date that the following would work as expected:

Select CONVERT(VARCHAR,getdate(),101) As DefaultValue

Finally, here's SQL code which you can run in Query Analyzer or SQL Server Management Studio to see the effect of your submit:

SELECT     DynamicQuestionResponseID, DynamicQuestionID, Response, UserID, SortOrder, InActive, ResponseDateTime, UniqueResponseID
FROM         dnn_DynamicForms_QuestionResponse
WHERE     (ResponseDateTime =
                          (SELECT     MAX(ResponseDateTime) AS Expr1
                            FROM          dnn_DynamicForms_QuestionResponse AS dnn_DynamicForms_QuestionResponse_1))

Hope this helps someone else!
