Difference between today() vs now()
today() and now() can both be used to set the default value of a date picker. However, the type of form you have can affect which one you use.
- Use today() when you have a date-only field.
- Use now() when your field requires a date and time.
In general, when using a SharePoint list form, use now(). When using a form library or filler-only form, use today(), unless you have changed the data format of the date field to date and time.
