Hi,

I am new to the scripting and am trying to get a popup calendar to change to the current date at 5:00am every morning but needs to be changeable?

Thanks in advanced

Use an expression binding on the selected date.

```auto
setTime(now(0),5,0,0)

```

`now(0)` only evaluates once and does not poll because of the zero. Then set the time to 5.

You can change the datetime manually where the expression will be re-evaluated on window open or current date change.
