The data validation won't accept a dynamic array but you can refer to a spill in the sheet containing the dates.
This formula produces an array of 30 dates starting from today:
=SEQUENCE(30,,TODAY())
Place it somewhere in the sheet. Then in data validation, refer to the spill:

I actually need the sequence as a drop down that the user can choose one of the dates from to automatically fill in the cell. I would like it to drop down a list of 30 dates from today forward that can be chosen. If that isn't possible, is there a way to have a calendar pop-up to choose a date from?
