I have a popup calendar that the user selects a date and time for (the start time of a production shift) in a popup window. Is there a way to make the calendar update on a daily basis to the current date while leaving the time constant?

for example,  
Have the time always begin displayed at 7:00 am while the date updates to the current date.

This calendar still needs to remain editable so the user can select a different time/date if the start time is different than what is originally displayed.

Thanks

Place this expression in the Date(immediate) property of the calender component.

```
                      dateFormat(now(0), "yyyy-M-dd 7:00:00")
```

That… is so much easier than the way I originally did this…
