Big Time Need for Date Variables:

Set the default to MYSQL functions like Current_Date. I would guess that 80% of users would prefer this to be the default for a date variable.

This is definitely something we are hoping to add in the future, along with several other enhancements to Variables.

  • @user00344 I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to, but there is already a CURRENT_DATE function in beast mode


  • Completely agree, being able to set the default value for date variables to relative dates would be a huge improvement, and the amount of other thread asking for similar things (set it to Today(), Yesterday(), etc) shows how many people in the community are looking for this.

    @user00344 great idea! Hope you don't mind, I updated the title of this post from 'Date Variables' to 'Relative Date Variables' to be a bit more specific. This is definitely something we are hoping to add in the future, along with several other enhancements to Variables. Thanks for sharing!
