I'm attempting to set a "start date" date/time field to the current date/time based upon the criteria that one field is true, and the "start date" field is empty. I've been able to make it set the date/time initially (that part works perfectly); however, every time I send a new update, it changes the date to the current time, even though the "start date" field is populated. I've done an exhaustive search, and can find nothing that remediates this. Help!
I'm sure I'm missing something simple. This is the relevant code:
__________
When: Before, on Insert or Update
I've done this with and without filter conditions: Send to Legal is true, Legal start date is empty
_________
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
if (current.send_to_legal=='true' && (!current.legal_start_date.nil())) {
current.legal_start_date = gs.nowDateTime();
}
})(current, previous);
