[QGIS-Developer] Drag and drop form function QdateEdit Widget init

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Pierre,

Not sure if you are aware that recent QGIS releases also have very good 
"default" value support without having to use Python. You can simply set 
default values with QGIS expressions. No need for Python code (unless 
you do something really special).

You can even set date values dependent on other widgets without having 
to use Python scripting - and do updates whenever something changes on 
the record, without having to fall back to Python scripting.

Just wanted to make sure you are aware of this alternative mechanism. 
There might still be good reasons for using Python scripting though - 
but theses cases are now rarer.

Greetings,

Andreas
