Current date for extended form

I have a field date in a form where the end user loads the date of the form (it can be today, in the past or in the future)

I added the logic to display the current date, if it's empty

After designing the form, I open it with Adobe Acrobat Pro to Extend its features and enable the signature using Acrobat Reader.

At that moment, as the date field is empty, it is populated with the current date.

My problem is that when an end user wish to complete the form; as the date field is not empty, it always shows the date when the form was extended as default and not the current date.

How can I do to be able to extend the form features and that the date field assumes the current date ?

Regards

After extending the rights, delete the contents of the field and save the file.

I had included the date insertion on the Validate event of the field

To make it work, I have to move the code to the form:ready event of the field and now is working OK
Do you consider this event the right event to include the code ?

Regards and thanks for your help
