Description ptoye 2013-09-22 17:03:44 UTC 
The default field when defining a DATE table column (and possibly others - I've not experimented) can only be set to a specific value. SQL functions such as CURRENT_DATE would be extremely useful.

The workaround of course is to use Tools|SQL to submit an SQL ALTER TABLE command, but this is a bit against the philosophy of a GUI.
