Hi ,

Basically go into the Personalize Page link and click on the personalize icon for the item that you are wanting to default.  If the item has an attribute like "Initial Value" then you can attempt to populate that.  If it does not have htat attribute, then you can not default it.

Either way, I would definitely NOT recommend defaulting via personalization.  Basically the personalization framework is used for defaulting more of a constant value.  Where as with a date, you would most likely want the default date to change relative to the vacancy and/or the date it was raised.  ie ... eventually you will need to change your personalization when sysdate > defaulted End Date

I would suggest that you might want to investigate using User Hooks to put some defaulting logic into the field.  Available User Hooks are listed in the iRecruitment/HRMS User Guides.
