The answer to your question = NO
1. The 'Populate Null Values with Default' only populates existing records that have a NULL value in the field at the time you check the box and click 'Save'. It is a one-time action to populate data into a field with NULL values.
2. Once you populate a field, it is a static value that remains 'as-is' - unless it is a virtual, calculated or formula field that is based on other fields or formulas
As Pratyush suggests, you can create a calculated or formula attribute

Subject: Question on Rolling Date - Current Date and Time
Hello -
If I create a custom Project attribute, Current Date, set the default value to Current Date and Time, and 'check' Populate Null Values with the Default, is the Current Date attribute automatically updated each day to be the current date, OR, is the value constant and solely reflects the date on which the attribute was created?
I'd like to create a custom attribute that reflects the current date and is updated as each day goes by - any recommendations on how to do so would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Matt
