Hi Anagha,

So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud

1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank

2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'

3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like

if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value

update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>

I will check on this too from my side.

By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .
