How do you set a date field to default to today's date?

Thanks in advance!

Currently it is not possible to set the default text to the current date; however, the development team is working on adding this functionality to our next major release, Checkbox 4.5.

Because it is still under development we do not have a firm release date at this time. If we do not encounter any unforeseen issues a Spring release is anticipate though.
