I am trying to familiarize myself with Lightning Experience and have run up against an apparent efficiency gap which, if real, is horrible!

 

In Salesforce Classic, when I want to edit a datetime field ("Start Time", "End Time"), I click "Edit" on the record and it's a single click to populate the field with the current date and time.

 

In Lightning Experience, I click to edit the field, and now it's *two* fields, and there doesn't seem to be any way to click to have it populate with the current date and time.  And the time picklist is in half hour increments.  Am I missing something?  Am I going to have to look at my clock now each and every time and manually type in something like "12:33 PM"?

 

Pleeeeeease say it ain't so!

    You could create an Action on the object, and in the pre-defined fields set the field value to NOW(), then add the action to the page layout.
