  • 1.  Auto-populate a date field

    Posted Feb 18, 2015 11:15 AM

    I have a couple a date attributes that I have created in the Idea object that I am attempting to have auto-populated with the current date when the Idea moves from one status to the next.  I thought that this should be a pretty simple process that would be available out of the box but so far I have not found a way to do this.  Has anyone had any luck getting date attributes to auto-populate when the status of the idea changes?  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Chris

    Hi,

     

    This should not be too complicate. Just create a GEL script which copies over the sysdate into the date  fields.

    We do that all the time

    You need to write the GEL script, that's all, and add it into the process.

    Thanks Aurora.  I figure this should be a simple enough action for the tool to do.  Unfortunately, GEL scripting is a little beyond my skill level at this time.  Any ideas on how to get started learning GEL script?
