populate date field based on another field value change

[siva58]

ex: if we change approval field value as approval today, approval date field need to display today date.

similar to we we change the approval field value  to approval  after 2 days,  approval date field need to display on that date.

Hi Siva,

You can put a condition using a Business Rule wherein as soon as the state ChangesTo Approved, the Approval Date is updated by today's date or the date when the state changes which you can get using gs.now() or if it's a date/time type field; it can be fetched using gs.nowDateTime().

NOTE: gs.nowDateTime() function is not available in scoped applications.

Thanks,

The results were something like this:
