If a user has a date picker in their published dashboard, they must go through a number of steps if they want the date picker to default to the current date. The reason is that the selection in the date picker will default to whatever date it was set to when it was published. But often, dashboard developers will want a date picker to default to the current date (whatever that happens to be). We do have a workaround that requires that the document automatically republish. But this feels like an ugly workaround.
