When trying to sort dates that are displayed in custom columns on a list items page it is important to select a format that supports sorting otherwise they will not sort correctly.

Allow Reuse value

Enabling this option shows a toggle next to the field.

This option will then overwrite any default or existing values with the last value that was present in this field.

Default Value

Input Value

Option
Today	Defaults to todays date.
Fixed Date	Default to a certain date.
Placeholder Id	Default to a date that is located in another field.

Date Modifications

Date modifications allow you to alter the Default Value using offsets.

Use a positive value to set a date in the future and a negative value to set a date in the past.

This would set the default date to 30 days from now.

This would set the default date to 30 days ago.
