    Hi,

    For there is no ut of box functionality for trigger workflow everyday however you can use either Flow or Workflow Scheduler Solution.

    Using Flows: You can also do leverage flows to schedule workflows:

    Workflow Scheduler Solution:  Its a solution which when installed, provides you with entity to schedule the workflow. This requires fetchxml to retrieve the records on which you need to run a workflow.

    You do not have to set the current date to a field. In your recurring workflow, you can compare Process Execution Time with Estimated Close Date field value and send the email if the condition satisfied.
