How to set the default value of an input number field to current day's date in Dashboard?

[Sharma21]

I have defined a number.input field in Dashboard Studio (Version:9.0.2) so that the user can select a number representing a date (between 1-31). I want the date to be set to current day's date by default when the user opens the dashboard..

But "defaultValue": "$token_curr_date$" in the code below throws error  - Incorrect Type. Expected "number"

{

    "options": {

        "defaultValue": "$token_curr_date$",

        "token": "num_date",

        "min": 1,

        "max": 31

    },

    "title": "Select Date",

    "type": "input.number"

}

In "dataSources" I have defined below search and token:

        "ds_current_date": {

            "type": "ds.search",

            "options": {

                "query": "| makeresults | eval token_curr_date=strftime(now(), \"%d\") | fields token_curr_date"

            },

            "token": "token_curr_date"

        }

How do set the default value of input.number to current date?

Not working still. I am thinking that its not even recognizing the token value. Anything wrong with the way I am defining the token or maybe I need to initialize it before it can be referenced?

The strftime function returns a string rather than an integer expected by defaultValue.  Try converting the string into a number.

...
 "options": {
                "query": "| makeresults | eval token_curr_date=tonumber(strftime(now(), \"%d\")) | fields token_curr_date"
            },
...
