Help with "current date" to be automatically entered

Sure, you can use this method:

add_filter( 'gform_field_value_current_date', 'populate_current_date' );
function populate_current_date( $value ) {
  $local_timestamp = GFCommon::get_local_timestamp( time() );
 
  return date_i18n( 'm/d/Y', $local_timestamp, true );
}
