It's currently unsupported. May be supported in 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 as wa all do 
recognize importance of this.

One thing we need to think about is the compatiblility with future versions, 
where any function (e.g. written in Python) could be set as the default.

Hmm, In MSA you need to browse through the functions to find Now() and put it 
as default. I think about having a simple combobox, where you can just select 
"Current date"/"Current time" item, or optionally enter your fixed value or 
(in the future) a function.

I do appreciate any comments.

BTW, Kevin I encourage you to subscribe kexi at kde.org mailing list
