Setting up default value for date field

[Shuchi]

I need to set up the default value for date field on a data page which is editable, user may change, may not. Apart from Triggers, is there any other way?

Thanks @directrix for the reply, but I want to set the default date as System Date, is there any way to set that other than using triggers?

Shuchi,

Instead of choosing Default Value for the Date/Time field 'On Load', choose System Parameters and Time Stamp. This will stamp the current Date/Time, but still allow the user to change the value.
