Hi there. If I have a Date field on a form, how do I specify a date?  
  
using this like today, or even ‘06/06/2017’ don’t work when loaded in the default value for the form field.  
  
  
  
Ideally, things like today+7 would work or even cooler things like today+onemonth  
  
  
  
Am I missing something super obvious?  
  
  
  
@eouterbridge - I think you were looking for an answer to this as well?  
  
  
  
Cheers  
  
Jo
