ERO Default 8879 Signature Date

Is there a way to get the ERO signature to also print the date on the 8879? I would like to have it do it as of the date the return is printed. I know there is the "ERO's Signature Date" on 4.1, but this is an override input. I am trying to find where the setting is that this input is overriding. I would prefer to not have to manual enter or write it each time. Also, I don't want to have it put the date on the taxpayers line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The input for ERO signature date prints in all 2 or 3 spots since the ERO can not sign BEFORE the taxpayer signs. It is assumed everyone is in the same room signing on the same day. You need to maintain the actual signed form, so getting it print is really just a bit redundant. You can not make the program do what you want in this instance.
