The '''Update Custom Field Value''' workflow task type can be used to write values to custom fields on the object against which the Workflow is triggered.
These values can be hard-coded values, or can also use [[variables]].
You can also use MYSQL MySQL syntax to manipulate values using [[sscalculation]].
==Examples==
To populate the current date (for example, a workflow triggered at status '''Submitted''' could be configured to put today's date into a custom field called '''Date Submitted'''):
* '''@date(currentdate)@'''
To populate a date 1 one year from the current date (for example, for a progress report that is due 1 one year after the application is submitted):
* '''<!--@sscalculation(date_add(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR))-->'''
To populate with a system variable value (for example, to put a submission deadline into a custom field when a record is created):
* '''@system.Submission Deadline@'''
