Default Date range in Data Validation foiled by "Today()" function

Hi, I've set up a date range in Data Validation to restrict entries to a certain period.

In the date field, I've got "Today()" to default to today's date. Problem is, when "Today()" is after the "End date" setting, it doesn't trigger the error.

For example, with End Date set to 6 January 2016, the Today() function already in the spreadsheet won't trigger the error today (7 Jan 2016), but if i key in "1/7/2016" then the error is triggered.

Any ideas on how to have the error triggered by Today()?

thanks!
