 I can't find any way to do this directly, but here's a workaround:

1) First make the parameter's type String rather than Date.

2) Then enter a Default value expression for the date literal like this: "2018-01-23"

3) Finally, use something like the following, which might need to get adjusted for the type of SQL you're using:

  • For MariaDB (or MySQL) SQL use: STR_TO_DATE($P{From},"%Y-%m-%d"), where you need to first replace 'From' with the name of your actual parameter.

This allows you to easily edit the default value as a string, and then use it as a date type in your SQL.
