I have a date field that I want to default to the current days date, just wondering how to go about that. I made a BAQ with constants.today, and brought it in as a data view, but when I try to initialize the date field with the value it doesn’t seem to work.
Anybody else have any ideas on how to do this?

This is a great question…
So, I can do this - to null out the field - this works fine.
But how would you initialize it to today’s date, for example? (Dynamically)
@mbayley @tpogue You’re the filter-initializing gurus, right?

Set the expression as '{Constant.Today}'

YES!!!
This worked perfectly! Thank you!
Now the users will not automatically run the report for all time.
