Creating a Schema with a Default DateTime Value in Effect Typescript

Is this the right way to create a Schema with default DateTime value?

const SchemaWithDefaultFromDateTimeUtc = Schema.Struct({
  //... other fields
  from: Schema.DateTimeUtc.pipe(
    Schema.propertySignature,
    Schema.withConstructorDefault(() => Effect.runSync(DateTime.now)),
  ),
});

const SchemaWithDefaultFromDateTimeUtc = Schema.Struct({
  //... other fields
  from: Schema.DateTimeUtc.pipe(
    Schema.propertySignature,
    Schema.withConstructorDefault(() => Effect.runSync(DateTime.now)),
  ),
});

or is there another prefered way?
