how can I add the current date and time with this format: 2022-07-17 17:50:20?
I already managed it with an input value but I need the current time.

You should use built-in Date object in Javascript, like this:
let currentdate = new Date();
let datetime = currentdate.getFullYear() + "-"
+ String((currentdate.getMonth() + 1)).padStart(2,"0") + "-"
+ String(currentdate.getDate()).padStart(2,"0") + " "
+ String(currentdate.getHours()).padStart(2,"0") + ":"
+ String(currentdate.getMinutes()).padStart(2,"0") + ":"
+ String(currentdate.getSeconds()).padStart(2,"0");
//The `+1` on the getMonth() is used because in Javascript January is 0.
console.log(datetime);By the way, I suggest you make all your vars into lets as that’s the current standard. There’s a very fine difference between them (let is block scoped while var is functional scoped).
