    HI
     
    I created a list in Microsoft list. I have a date formatted column whose default value is =NOW(). When I add a new line to the list, the current date is automatically entered. However, the date is not updated every day. I would like the current date to be automatically updated once a day

    so you want that all rows have the same date of todays date and all rows in that list should be updated every day to todays date?

    then power apps is not the right tool for that.
     
    you would need to use power automate for it and create  new workflow
     
    1.) put a recurrence trigger so the flow runs every day
    2.) Get items action and select the sharepoint site and list
    3.) Add an appy to each loop and use the value dynamic content of the Get items action
    4.) Inside that apply to each loop put Update item action in and choose the Title and ID of the Get items action
     
    You would need to match all the dynamic contents in the columns except of the date column you want to modify the date.
    there u put utcNow() in the expression.
     
     
    if that helped please let me know and mark as verifies answer
     
     
    cheers
