wtforms+flask today's date as a default value

Question

I did a small Flask app with a form with two date fields, and this is how I populate the values:

class BoringForm(Form):
    until = DateTimeField(\"Until\",         


        

Answer 1

Just drop the brackets on the callable:

class BoringForm(Form):
    until = DateTimeField(
        "Until", format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S",
        default=datetime.today, ## Now it will call it everytime.
        validators=[validators.DataRequired()]
    )
