I understand I can use Date entry and format with date. However, it would be so much better if I could just use a dynamic date without any manual input such as excel style =NOW() or =TODAY()

In some cases, I don't need to use a specific date and would be able to output the date the pdf is generated.

Sometimes it might take several days for the client to complete the parallel so it's a manual process having to update the date field accordingly instead of just being able to output something like {{ TODAY() | date }}
