[Question]: default today date doesn't show up automatically in edit form

[ocelot73]

What is the question?

In QGIS attribute form widget related to a "date" type field I insert as default value: now() When i enter edit form in Lizmap I would expect to see in calendar widget today's date, instead nothing appears and I have to click on calendar icon and select date needed.

In lizmap desktop plugin server & lizmap are correctly detected and even in LWC Qgis server information administration section. How can setup my qgis project to make LWC correctly show current date when acticating edit form ? Thanks. Bye

Can you show precisely what is the expression used in your form ? Screenshot and full text expression

What kind of field is-it as well ? In yoru vector properties, "fields" tab".

[ocelot73]

The vector is a postgis table with geometry. The desired column type is "timestamp without time zone". In QGIS desktop: field type "QDateTime" - "timestamp"

Here is the screenshot of expression used:

A date SQL field, QDate in QGIS works well for me.

I've not explained well the issue, sorry. If I initially click on Edit button, edit form shows up and I actually see today's date correctly set at startup (even if field type is timestamp not only date ) The problem is if I click before on a geometry which has a NULL value in date field, and then I click on the pencil icon in the popup, date widget doesn't not show today's date. I'd like to find a way to force showing up today's date in THAT edit form. Is it possible ? I mean, only for null values, I'd like to have a date widget showing up today's date as standard value (not a null one).
