[vinod9]

Hello Team,

Hi Vinod,

Did you check for Business rule, client scripts on the correspoding table the field is on?

There are few ways you can search for the script.
The fastest would be to open Studio from you navigation.
Close the pop up with ctrl+shift+f and in the Search term field write down your field name. For example I could write incident_state. Also check the "Search in all applications" to true.

Now hit search and it will do a query through scripts to find a match and it will show you if it was found in a BR, Script Include, etc.

It can also be updated by some integration and that probably won't be found in any script. You can also check transform maps, but integrations can also be direct meaning that there won't really be any sign other than "updated by" that tells you where the information came from.

Hello @vinod9 ,

First try to debug on what action it is updating the date field.Depending on this you can check different configurations.

Example:

If its happening on update of form or save of the form try checking business rules on that table .

or may be if its happening on change of another field check on change client script etc

You can check with applying a filter saying "script contains your date field back end name"

Hope this helps
