How to set the date slicer to current date?

[wpf_]

I am using a slicer and using one of the dates column as the input field.  This particular date column has a start date beginning on the date it was refreshed.  But since I am using the date picker in the slicer, it does not show the the current date.  How can I always default to the current date when using the date picker?  Thanks.

@wpf_ unfortunately there is no out-of-the-box functionality to set the default value, there is an idea on the ideas forum, do upvote it.
