For those who are looking for answer on !today here,

I faced the same problem. removed ! before script and then !today worked.

Instead of starting script as

!|script|

Use

|script|

+0 days works, Why todaysDate variable usage is not working in populate, but able to print values??

Not working both options.. Refer screenshots below Here is the line of code causing this issue
!define todaysDate {!today (YYYY-MM-dd)}
| set start datetime |

| populate field | Date | with | +0 Days |

@saravanana - There is no predefined method or command for it in Appian FitNesse but you can write a small java custom fixture which returns the current date and time. You can capture that in a variable and use it wherever you want.

Is there a way to populate today's date / date & time to Date control in Appian?

I will be updating the cheat sheet documentation for the next release to make this clearer for rows. For selecting a column by number, you would also have to use the square brackets (e.g. [2])
