Condition stays with field

[EllenG]

I have a global field with a conditional to change colors on certain events. I am using that field in many layouts and tabs across my app. I created the global and set the conditionals, then I copied that field everywhere I want to use it.

I thought I could go back in and change the conditional on the global field and that would propagate to all other occurrences of the field, but it only changes on that one.

Is there a way to setup a field with conditionals so that if the conditional is changed, it will change in every use of that field?

I thought maybe with a calc field, but I could not get that to work either.

Thanks.

A custom function might be the way to go.

Unfortunately, you can't set conditional formatting conditionally--you have to select colors and styles manually. If you want something to change globally (change once, see everywhere), you may need to resort to a calculation field. Let me know if you want some ideas on how to do that.
