Hi,
 
I have to select the start date to today the problem is there is no option to pass the text on the date picker. The only way to change the month is by selecting the next button.

    Hi,
     
    I have several running with similar configurations and what is working for me is in selection field passing the entire date as 2024-09-02 12:00 AM
     
     
    Please give it a try.  In the StartDate picker field, populate with today's date as 2024-09-02 12:00 AM

    Is that a website or an application? If it’s a website and it's public can you share the link so people could try to figure out a way to pass today to that date picker. Maybe there could be a way to use "Run Javascript function on web page" -action for the date picker.
     
    If there is no way to pass text then one way to do it is to check what is the month in the date picker and then have logic that calculates how far is that from this month. Then select next as many times as needed to get to the current month.
