It will be there if, let’s say, you’re in a form. When you do a left-hand-side search, you’ll see it.

You are not inside a native form. The special values are not available because you are not on a screen that has a use for them. You cannot automatically fill a column with a date on a detail screen or new screen.

It looks like you created your own custom form with your own submit button on top of a detail screen linked to an existing row. You are not using any native form functionality. You need to add the special values as part of the Submit button action.
