Create a 'Today's Date' field in Hubspot

[Adam-SixandFlow]

Currently, you have no date property that tells you today's date. This is genuinely a critical function if you are going to compete with other CRMs. How can a sales team set and keep SLAs if they can only look at the time spent in stage retroactively? Please fix it or bring in a "Today's Date" field so people can work around it using a calculated property and some basic automation i.e.

• Enters deal stage > set date picker to "date of entry"
• Calc field = time between "Date of entry" & "Today's Date"
• Report = all deals with "Calc field" >7
• Automation = id "calc field">7 notify salesperson and manager.

This is a huge hole in the system and is going to cost your partner's deals. A simple addition like this would unlock a lot of potential within the system.

This would be a nice feature!

[JAWS]

That would be a grea new and required feature.

[AMessina]

This would be a huge timesaver and prevent me from needing to export all my sales reports into excel.

[vertika]

This has created problems already! Good that the thread is here at least.

[JLyons0]

That would be a very helpful feature.

[ShanaStagz]

This would be ideal!

[pablorion]

Oh please please add this field.  We have multiple workflows where we need to check the time passed since a property changed state in order to take actions (notify customer, salesteam, etc.)

[DWoods]

Very necessary. Would be great for this simple fix to be prioritized.

I need this for calculating the date they started implementation to today's date. Number of days in implementation. Or it could be the number of days as a customer, etc. 

[MBahr]

This small data picker would be extremely helpful for tons of use cases

Every day I find myself on the HubSpot community upvoting ideas that should just be in the vanilla product.

[MTerry0]

This is really needed. It's difficult to manage a service team without knowing the age of an open service ticket

[CaptainSprocket]

Yes please. Today() date field.

[KAgosta]

Agree with all on this thread, and it has been a few years. This function wb applicable in so many ways.

Is it really that difficult to create? What's the issue? 

Please let us know. Keeping users in the dark isn't a great way to cultivate customer trust and loyalty.  😉  

Does anyone on here have some understanding of why this might be particularly difficult?  Perhaps, because of worldwide time zones and different days/dates.

Just grabbing at straws here. 

[Jnix284]

need this for service tickets also, this would be great for all hubs/users

[TJarvis8]

Unbelievable this hasn't been added yet. Really basic feature that's hugely needed.

[Beata_W]

This is kind of basic functionality 😭

[Amevian]

This is fundamental and should have already been a part of the platform. Now, with the addition of Operations Hub, it is even more difficult to create a workaround to accomplish anything surrounding today's date.

[PTamisin]

I can't believe there is a calculated field feature that supports days since, but that Today() not an option.  Please implent this.  Having to use workflows to populate a custom Today field is way too much work for something that should just work.

@hubspot Can you please update this thread on the latest on a "Today's date" property?  Either way, can you please publish something that would outline how to get this done today?
