Question

How to set the attribute’s default value to current date in the property window. I tried using System.DateTime.Today. However, I am getting an error.

I don’t want to set this default value dynamically or in code.

It is not possible from designer. You must create your own partial class for your entity and set the date in default constructor:

public partial class InvertoryCategory
{
    public InvertoryCategory()
    {
        CreatedDate = DateTime.Today;
    }
}
