I have a form that when opened, there is a "Today's Date" field that is supposed to grab the date. But it is not updating. It got a date of 03/18/2020 in there. I don't know where that date is coming from.

I followed this article, but no luck.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version 2020.012.20043. Any help would be appreciated.

Is that field clickable or editable with a date picker? or is it read-only?

Is this field also used in a date calculation with other date fields?

Have you checked if during form editing another datefield was rename with this same fieldname and now is grabbing that other's field's value?

And if you use CTRL+J to open the debugger console what error(s) can you spot?

That means a field name specified in the code of that function is incorrect.

You should be able to find it under Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts.
