How to I create a local layout so that I can enter the LMP like I can
do with the Date in the Text window (instead of the Preamble)?


Adding to the previous answer: if there's no need to save the LMP in a 
variable (you'd need to define it as \newcommand\LMP[1]{#1} in the 
preamble), you'd probably want to use something like

InsetLayout "Flex:EDD"
      LyxType        custom
      LabelString   "EDD"
      LatexType      command
      LatexName      EDD
      PassThru       true
      CustomPars     false
      Decoration     Classic
      ContentAsLabel true
End


Then Insert>Custom Inset>EDD, and enter the date in the box
