Automatic date time setter in XY chart

How to make present date and time setter in X axis of XY chart.
Since, I've used this code
date = system.date.getDate(2023, 4, 18)
print system.date.setTime(date, 1, 37, 44)
It's showing error.

What is a 'present date and time setter'?

It's showing error.

What is showing error? Designer? Browser? Component? Script Console? What is the error message?

Post a cropped screen shot of what you are trying to do and show the problem.

  1. You can't write scripts in expression bindings. You can only use expressions. See Expression Language and Syntax - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation.
  2. The list of Expression Fuctions is here: Expression Functions - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation
  3. You can't use the = assignment (but you can use it for comparison). Think of expressions as being like Excel formulas.
  4. Print works in Script Console.
  5. system.date functions are for Python scripting. They can't be used in expressions. See System Functions - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation.

Now for what you are trying to fix:
Set xAxes.0.date.format : yyyy-MMM-dd.
You don't need an expression.

What's the method to pick the date and time in props.datasource.example?

You can't pick a date directly on the XY Chart.
