Setting todays date as the default value for a date field

In Forms → Manage Fields we have custom fields of the type Date. For the default value we are shown a calendar to set a date but is there a way to set the date to be the current date? For example if a user signs up on 25/06/2020 that is the date that would be put in the field?

Hey Leon! Sorry we missed this when it was originally published, but in the spirit of providing insight on this question, I’ll be happy to take a look!
You can totally pre-fill fields on your forms, which works perfectly for the date field. To do so, you’ll just need to append the URL path with a query parameter/string. Here are the 3 main stages to successfully set this up in your account:

  1. Identify form fields and the corresponding personalization tags, date, for example.
  2. Create the query string using this format: ?fieldname=%PERSONALIZATION-TAG%
  3. Once done, add it to the end of the URL path of your webpage or form URL.
