How to add an automatic date thingy?

[ignite]

Hoi,

Is there any way I can add the date to come up automatically (i.e. today's date) on a field called 'order date' on my orders form. I currently have an input mask on this table field (i.e. dd/mm/yyyy) if this is any help/hiderance?

Thanks for any advice !

Can you do something like date() in the fld's default value in table design?

Works well, thank you !
