Setting the date field to today sets the date without user interaction

[BenWalker1]

If I have a field, like a survey creation date, it should possible to set it to be today's date without the user needing to open a separate dialog box and then confirm todays date. this will reduce the number of clicks the users needs to have with the form.

@JustinReynolds   - thank you for that code.

When I add it to the form in Field Maps, the field becomes un-editable. It appears that if a "calculated value" is applied to the Date field, then editing capability is switched off. 

Is there any way to get around this? 

I would like the date to default to Now, with the option to change to another date as required.
