Use a script on the button to load the current date into a tag. Then display the value of that tag. Code would look something like this: ``` now = system.date.now() system.tag.write("path/datetag", now) ``` Or you can do it in one line like this: `system.tag.write("path/datetag", system.date.now())` See the user manual for more information: Scripting Functions here: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Scripting+Functions](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Scripting+Functions) ---
