I have a request to add a checkbox to the Change form. Adding the checkbox is not a problem but I don't want to update old records when I Save/Update.

Hi @John H1 ,

Regarding your requirement, it is straight forward as you said, just add the new field on the form.

Can you explain little bit more, what do you mean by "I don't want to update old records when I Save/Update".

 

If you add the new field on the form, It won't update any of your old records it will just add the new field on the form for those old records as well. 

 

Thanks,

Hope this helps.

If my response turns useful please mark it helpful and accept it as solution.

 

In the past when I would add a field to the Change Form it would add the field to all records open or closed.

Hi @John H1 

 

What this check box do?

 

If any script has been written on this check box or this check box depends on any other field and if you change that field check box will get updated.
