Screenshot of the option in question

Current situation
====================
Under tab "Insert" -> "Field" -> tab "Document" -> Type: "Date"

you can insert:
- fixed date (default)
- automatically updating date


Suggestion
===========
- Remove the fixed date option altogether
OR
- Un-default it (in case it actually has a use case): In list "Select": "Date"
should be the selected option by default. 


Reason
=======
Why remove?
I see virtually no use case in this function --> UI evaluation needed.
If a user wants a fixed date, why going through the hassle of inserting a field
instead of simply writing it by hand?

Why un-default? 
I'd say the general user wants an automatically updating date, if they are
choosing a field. --> Evaluation needed
They might even expect the date field to update automatically and not realize,
that it actually doesn't.
