HOW TO
This article describes the workflow to manually specify the Date field value when creating new features in ArcMap.
Although it is not possible to dynamically auto-populate a Date field with the current date for each newly created feature, it is possible to specify the date a feature was created manually by changing the Date field's default value inside of a feature's Template Properties dialog box.
