Populate Date & Date/Time field from Button Click

I've been looking at this previous post on how to populate date & date/time fields through a button click but it seemed to no longer work: https://success.salesforce.com/answers#!/feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_DETAIL&id=90630000000gud3AAA 

 

/{!Account.Id}/e?retURL={!Account.Id}&00N800000037hlN={!TODAY()}&save=1

 

Are there any new resources on how to do such?

    Hi Danilo - this is known as a URL hack and while they were never officially supported by Salesforce in classic experience, they are not supported at all in Lightning Experience. 

     

    If you are attempting to use this approach in Lightning Experience, unfortuantely it will not work.  You can try using a quick action to meet your need.
