Form Container actions and Date/Time defaults not working as expected in Glide

Hi everyone, I need help with a Form Container issue in my Glide app.

I am trying to set up a form on my “Submit Update” screen that writes new rows to my Live Updates table. But two major problems are happening:

  1. The Date/Time component does NOT offer “Current date/time” as a default value.
  • When I open the Default Value dropdown, I only see my table columns, not the automatic options Glide usually provides (like Now / Current date/time).
  1. The Form Container “After Submit Action” does not behave as expected.
  • The only action that works is “Show Notification.”
  • But I cannot get other actions (like adding a row or other workflows) to appear properly or execute after submission.

I included screenshots showing:
– My Form Container setup
– The missing “Current time” option
– The limited After Submit Action options
– My Live Updates table containing both Timestamp and Time Reported, in case that matters

If anyone can explain:
:check_mark: Why “Current date/time” is missing
:check_mark: Whether my table structure is causing this
:check_mark: Or if there is a different way Glide now expects forms to be set up

…I would greatly appreciate the help!
Thank you!





You can use set column value for this.

Use a workflow to have more than one single action.

Don’t hesitate if you need more!

Hi Maxime
Thanks for the quick response!

Good to know about the Date/Time change. I hadn’t realized Glide removed the built-in “current date/time” option, so the Set Column Value approach makes sense. I’ll go ahead and try that out.

I’ll also switch over to using a workflow for the After Submit Action so I can stack multiple actions the way I need. If you have any tips or examples for the cleanest workflow setup, I’m all ears.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

It should work as long as you are writing to a date column.

Thank you, Jeff — this is helpful.
I’ll double-check the column type in my table.
If my “Time Reported” column is already set to Date/Time, should I recreate the component or column?

I took a screenshot of your screenshot, so you should be seeing ‘Now’ in your existing setup.

Any time!
