I want to filter data by date but I don't want a from and to. I just want a date picker of one date. I also want to be able to set the default date to todays date. Is this something that can be done, I don't see how.. Can someone help.
When it comes to the Date picker, it is only available in the built in "date range" filter for Date columns.
At the moment, we don't have a way to have a date picker with just picking one date like that.
Technically, you can change the filter of this column to a Text filter, then the user must manually insert the date. That way, you will achieve the desired result, just without the date picker.
2. When it comes to filtering by "today's date" by default in the table;
You can only do this if you set it to Text filter type in the column, then you can insert our Placeholder %CURRENT_DATE% as a predefined filter.

Let me know if that helps.
