In Tridion Docs 14 SP3, in the Properties window in the Web Client, all fields that have date values now use a lightweight HTML date picker instead of JQuery.
Unfortunately, the HTML date picker does not contain an option to add the button labelled Now or Today, which would auto-fill today's date when selected.
Knowledge Center 2016 contained a Today button in all date selectors, which was convenient and reduced user error.
It would be helpful if a Today button could be added to date picker functionality in the Web Client.
