You can write a behavior that sets the property with the current date.

If you are not familiar with behaviors, check out my tuorial on the topic: Implementing Custom Behaviors in Alfresco | ECMArchitect | Alfresco Developer Tutorials

Hi:

I imagine that from the model point of view you can set an ISO 8601 date by default.

On the other hand, in the Jeff's line, here you have a small customization for doing similar thing with cm:effectivity aspect and cm:to property (in this case the behaviour is for setting one month from the creation date).
