You should create a global template called 'get_date':

sub {
my $field_name = shift;
my $tags = GT::Template->tags;
my $home = $tags->{home};
require GT::Date;
GT::Date::date_set_format('%mm%-%dd%-%yyyy%');
$home->{db}->cols->{$field_name}->{default} = GT::Date::date_get();
}

Change add_form.html like:

....
<%get_date('your_date_field_name')%>
<%generate_add_form%>
...

Hope that helps.
