It would be fantastic if Automation triggers and actions could use "Today's Date" as an input/output.
IE, a customer order has next-day shipping. Set an automation to the mapped service to set the Ship By Date as "Today's Date".
You can manually set the Ship By Date to 0 days after the Order Date. But ShipStation doesn't differentiate between Order Date and Import from Store Date. So orders that were created in the past, but aren't imported until a later date still display the store's Order Date.
IE, a wholesale customer places a store order to be fulfilled in 90 days. When the order processed at the scheduled time, the order imports to ShipStation. By the time the order is imported from the store to SS, the Order Date (and Age) displays that it is 90 days old. An Automation that could set the Ship Date for orders like these to "X days after Today's Date" would be able to display an accurate Ship By Date.
