Using Now() as part of Default String value for Title
I have what should be a very simple need, but I can't find any input anywhere that actually works as purported. I want to set a default value (not a calculated column) for the Title of a list item, ...
I kid you not, SharePoint is now letting me use it (=TEXT(VALUE(NOW()),"yymmdd hhmm")) in the Default for the Title, whereas earlier, it was not.
Other than building out the formula bit-by-bit from the inside out, this is what I was shooting for earlier. I can only assume there was SOMETHING different in what I typed that kept SharePoint from allowing me to save the formula...
I have my default, and all is right with the world.
