How to default a value in a field using Page Composer Personalization

Content

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out how to default the current date into a date field using a personalization.

Using the Page Composer in a Sandbox, I browse to the field that I want to modify, and edit it.

 

In the "Default Value" property, I first set it to Override, and then using EL, I used the following expression #{generalSettings.formattedCurrentDate} and test it to ensure that the correct value is being returned. Which it is.

I then apply changes, save and preview my Sandbox as if its Live.
