You can add dynamic or calcuated values (parameters) into the default field of a text element (or list element as of CCv5b28) when building a Form. When you type the following codes in bold into the Default field for a text element, they will be replaced with the values in the description below when a user starts to fill in the Form.
[TODAY]
Replaced with today's date.
[TODAY+N]
Where N is a number. Replaced with a date, today's date plus N days.
[TODAY-N]
Where N is a number. Replaced with a date, today's date minus N days.
[NOW]
Replaced with the current server time. (Added CCv5b23)
{url parameter}
Replaced with the value specified by a parameter named within the {} in the page's URL. For example, if {name} is provided as the default for a field called First Name, and the page's URL is regform.asp?name=Bob, the default for the First Name field will be Bob. (Added CCv5b23). If the name of the URL parameter is preceded by ~ (tilde), the value of the querystring parameter will be assumed to be encrypted with Community Center encryption and will be decrypted before use in the form. For example, if {~name} is provided as the default for a field called First Name, and page's URL is regform.asp?name=iq6eQH, the default for the First Name field will be Bob. (Added CC6.03).
