Auto-generate dates in the WorkBench

[grantfitzsimmons]

We’ve realized that creating cataloged date is not automatic in Specify7 WorkBench.
In Sp6 if I uploaded a dataset without cataloged date, it was set to the current date by default. In Sp7 it stays blank (NULL value).
Is there a way for automatic generation as with the catalog numbers? (Sp7 WorkBench: Auto-insert Catalog Numbers)
Thanks for your help!

Per my conversation with @maxpatiiuk, we need to look at the Specify 6 source code to see all the fields for which it has a default value AND then check if that list makes sense or if Specify 7 should have default dates for different/additional fields.

Good morning,
I've just come across this feature discussion whilst looking at moving some workbench stuff from Specify 6 to Specify 7 and was wondering if there have been any updates on auto-generating workbench dates?
If not, can I also be added as a requester of this feature on behalf of the Queensland Herbarium? Thanks!
