I am using Post Grid to display post types "Event" which has a meta key "event-start-date". I can force it to hide past events by passing in:
Key: event-start-date
Value: 1582691760 (unix timestamp for 26/FEB/2020)
Compare: >
Type: event (post type)

However, I need the "value" to be dynamically determined and was hoping to use something like "$today" or something of that equivalent.

Can you please advise the best way I can use your Post Grid plugin to filter my custom post type by the meta field "event-start-date"?

Welcome to our forum. Yes, we have a solution for this, meta value field has shortcode support to pass dynamic values like you want, please use following shortcode into meta value field,

[post_grid_today_date]

https://imgur.com/deOROro it will return date following format Y-m-d in case you need to different date output you can use different shortcode define by you, simple rename following function to generate your shortcode

add_shortcode('post_grid_today_date','post_grid_today_date_20200228');

function post_grid_today_date_20200228(){
  
  return date('Y-m-d');
  
}

Hope that help you. Regards
