| Description |
|
We have multiple use cases where it would be nice to have the option to set the default value of a date field to the current date/time (the moment the dialog field is instantiated). Now editors need to click the calendar, which does pre-select the current date, but it would be great if that wasn't required and the current date would just be pre-filled in the field when the field configuration says so. |

Vaadin DateField documentation shows an example of setting date/time to now: // Create a DateField with the default style DateField date = new DateField(); // Set the date to present date.setValue(LocalDate.now()); |

I think it probably makes the most sense to use the defaultValue property provided by ConfiguredFieldDefinition. But we need to probably provide a list of values or a format that we expect there. For example if the word "now" is there then that would trigger date.setValue(LocalDate.now());. |
