Adding the code to the Custom JS

Add the code below to the Custom JS section on the Settings tab:

function formatDateTime() {
    const now = new Date();
    
    const day = String(now.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
    const month = String(now.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
    const year = String(now.getFullYear()).slice(-2);
    const minutes = String(now.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');
    const seconds = String(now.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0');

    return `[${day}${month}${year}${minutes}${seconds}]`;
}

const date = formatDateTime();
widget.setFieldValue('[current-date]', date)

Replace current-date in the last line of the code with the actual ID of your Hidden field
