How to set default value to date type input field

See original GitHub issue

I need to set a default value to date type input field. How would we go about doing that?

I have tried things like this

---
question: |
  Information?
fields:
  - Date: phone_date
    datatype: date
    default: |
      as_datetime(today('dd/mm/yyyy'))
---

and a few other variations. I also scanned through the documentation and could not find a clear way.

Is there an easy solution to do this?

Prior to 0.5.107, you had to format the default date in the format yyyy-MM-dd. As of 0.5.107, you can just do default: today().

I confirm that your solution is working. I was using an older version, way too old of a version.
