I am creating a form template and want to have Today() as the
default date for the Date field, without using a macro. I tried
{today()} or the {DATE \@ "yyyy-mm-dd"} or {TODAY \@ "YYYY-MM-DD"},
but it always prompts for a valid date when closing the dialog. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks gurus....
