Trigger - Update a date field based on the code of a select field

Date fields can be updated based on the code of select field. This is an important functionality in form based automation because this will enable you to select an option and the date will automatically get updated based on each different option.

The reference select fields codes must be configured as follows :

  • Number followed by M or D 

  • M is months

  • D is days

  • W is weeks

For example some possible options are :

Select Field CodeDescription
01MAdd 1 month to current date or date field value

2MAdd 2 month to current date or date field value
10DAdd 10 days to current date or date field value
