Hi,

In wdinit() method u can set the date

 
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); 
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);

Another way you have set the this formate like that

1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat

2. Select the type as "date"

3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)

4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.

Hope this helps u.
