#3 Adding a setDateTo type function

[George Hazlewood]

I'd like to be able to prepopulate a date/datetime
selector with today's date. Thinking along the same
lines it might be handy to be able to set a default on
a date/time field according to a value plus or even
minus the current date, e.g. + 7 days, - 3 hours etc...

I know I could use a timestamp field type in mysql
which would automagically be the current date but what
about other db types or if i don't want a timestamp?

Could this feature be considered please?

Cheers

George
