Description Robert Großkopf 2021-07-17 09:30:09 UTC 
In a formcontrol for a date you could choose a default date. This date will be a fixed date. It won't be the date of the day the form has been opened.

If you wish to get this day you have to use some constructions like queries and forms with sub forms or you have to create it by macro. Also it is possible to set it in SQL when the data will be saved. But many people want to see the date before saving and don't know who to create this in the different ways.

It would be more user friendly to choose "Today" for the default date.

This has never been implemented in LO. It would be an enhancement.

Sounds useful and uncontroversial -> NEW
