Default Value doesn't work in form fields!

[ISeeLivePeople]

I've been working on this problem for two days.  I cannot get Default Value to work for fields on forms.  I've tried date.strdate.today(), today(), =date.strdate.today(), date.datetime.today(), etc.  Nothing I've tried so far works!

Does anyone have an example of how the Default Value should be filled in to retrieve today's date?

Thanks in advance!

p.s. I'm using Rekall 2.4.5 on openSUSE 10.3.
