Scenario:

I want to pass the current time as default parameter in one of the fields of an action of my custom connector.

My approach:

In my swagger definition, I have the field defined as

 "startdate": {
 "type": "string",
 "description": "Start Date",
 "title": "Start Date",
 "x-ms-visibility": "",
 "default": "utcNow()"
 }

But when I use the action in a flow, the field is shown as

When the flow runs, it does not take in the expression value.

This is not read as an expression as opposed to when it is added manually by me, where it is displayed as

What change should I make to put expressions as default values.

Thanks
