Add a validation for Date fields to be relative to another Date field in the envelope or relative to today. Also allow setting of NOW() as the default date. 

eg: two fields StartDate and EndDate. 

EndDate can be given validation to not be before StartDate. 

 

Validation: 

After today (including today)

Before today (including today)

After another field - then select a field with date validation 

Before another field - then select a field with date validation 

 

If a date field has TODAY or NOW or similar entered as the default the current date will be populated.

Upvoted, we would really love this functionality. It’d be great to have the NOW() or TODAY() function when calculating the difference (in days) between two dates for a formula. Having the sender manually adding that field in is clunky, especially when an envelope is started on the customer side (via web form).

At this time, we’re not planning to pursue this request, so we’ve marked it as parked. 

While it’s not on our current roadmap, ideas like yours help inform future direction if priorities change.
