Default date field value

Hi!

Why there is not a "default value" option for the date field? And I´m not refererring to the "value if empty", because it won´t work properly on things like the universal flexi content module date scope

Yeah sure

My particular case: Was using date scope to limit a module to show articles between 2010-1-1 and 2999-1-1 based on a field created for that purpose

The problem was that articles without that value wouldn´t appear because they won´t comply with the condition

Hello

adding a default value is easy but,

-- a default value will not address the above, since a default value is never duplicated / stored in the DB


Instead the approach should be to update the relevant query:


-- so Question, which case do you talk about ?
about unversal module date scope ?
other ?
