Trying to setup a Workflow Field with dynamic today date. Not working.

1. Set up a Workflow Field. `Label`: Today. `Type`: Date. `Dynamic Default`: Current Date/Time. `Store Value`: Tried both true and false.
2. First `Workflow Estate`. 
    a. On `Entry`: Check if `Today` Field is set (`Condition: Workflow : Today Is Empty`)
3. If Today is Empty it goes to *Estate A*. If Today is Not Empty, it goes to the *Estate B*.
So far, `Today` is always empty. Any hint?

You could set the field value using set field value action on entry into start state. However I’m confused as if you are setting the value by default then won’t it always just go to state A?

Setting the value as default (in the field definition itself) didn't work for me. But setting it in the first Estate with a formula `{today}` worked fine.
