Problem
A date must be displayed which is a number of business days after a date shown in an existing field. The number of days to be added will vary depending on the value of a dropdown field elsewhere on the page.
Solution
Create a Special – Calculated Value custom field with expressions equivalent to the following:
Where the date to be added to is a custom field with a Custom Field ID of 12345 and the dropdown list is named Client Category
[Client Category]=='Regular'?busdateadd(frm.cf_12345.value,10):[Client Category]=='Under Investigation'?busdateadd(frm.cf_12345.value,5):[Client Category]=='Special'?busdateadd(frm.cf_12345.value,30):'0000-00-00'
Where the date to be added to is the standard field "Start Date" and the dropdown list is Time Line
[Time Line]=='Regular'?busdateadd(frm.startdate.value,10):[Time Line]=='Under Investigation'?busdateadd(frm.startdate.value,5):[Time Line]=='Special'?busdateadd(frm.startdate.value,30):'0000-00-00'
The above calculations follow the rules:
- If the dropdown field is set to "Regular," the value of this field will be 10 business days after the specified date field
- If the dropdown field is set to "Under Investigation," the value of this field will be 5 business days after the specified date field
- If the dropdown field is set to "Special," the value of this field will be 30 business days after the specified date field
- If the dropdown field is set to none of the above values, the value of this field will be '0000-00-00'
