Retrieve an update set based on release date field

[VS M]

Hello experts,

Currently release date attribute is optional and want to make it mandatory and tie some functionality to it. I am looking for possibilities to retrieve an update set based on release date field due to some reasons.

Note: I knew If the update sets on the source instance were updated over 90 days ago, those are not be retrieved.

Hello

In both the examples you have shared, update sets state will be "Previewed" in production which will not impact any of the functionality. You may start change the state of the update sets which are not in "committed" state as "Ignored" after every release cycle. This will help you to automatically change the state of the update sets to "Ignore" in lower instances too (Dev, Test) after every clone. 

we follow clone after every release cycle so that will make sure your update sets state will change after every clone from prod to dev, test. This is the process we used to follow in one of the projects.

Also I don't think there is any option to retrieve the update sets based on release date, Its always based on the "completed" state of the update set.  

Hope it helps!!

Please Mark ✅ Correct/helpful, if applicable, Thanks!!

I am referring to retrieved update sets (loaded and set to previewed status) in actual instance, and state is read-only in retrieved update sets view.

Yes, we do follow the  change of update set state to ignore from completed, under local update sets in actual instance.  

Not to confuse viewers, I removed the examples and basically looking to implement a solution to my need if its achievable.
