   Is there a way to add a date field, admin only, to a form that will automatically place the submission date (usually today's date) into the database on the date the form is submitted?

   Do you want to set default value for "date" field ? if it's so you should edit "view-functions.php" file. Go to around line 364, you'll find this code in there :

   $element_markup = <<<EOT

   put these code above that line

   if ($element->id == 10) {
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value'] = date('m');
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value'] = date('d');
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value'] = date('Y');
   }

   I assume your "date" admin field have id = 10, it should give default value to that field. Anyway I'm curious why you do not use "date_created" field instead ? machform has that field by default in every form.

   You can see "Date Created" field on "entries" menu, if you can't see it, click "choose columns" and select the field from there.
