Workflow Task Type: Update Custom Field Value
From SmartWiki
Revision as of 08:53, 31 May 2013 by Arthur Lathrop (talk | contribs)
The Update Custom Field Value workflow 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 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 year from the current date (for example, for a progress report that is due 1 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 custom field when a record is created)
- @system.Submission Deadline@
