Hey all,

Does anyone know if there is a way to set up FM so that the modification date can be overriden?

IE: I have a field that is set to auto-enter the modification date. Sometimes a change is made and then undone so I would like to be able to manually change this date. The field should still auto-update when the record is next modified.

any suggestions?

Forgot to mention I'm using FM11.

There is no easy way to do this without some work. The best bet is to turn the auto entry off, make a change, and then turn it back on.

There is no easy way...

There is.

An auto-enter field with a calculation like this:

Let(

triggers = List ( Field1 ; Field2 ; FieldN ) ; // all layout fields, but this one

Case(

Get ( ActiveFieldName ) ≠ "thisFieldName" ; Get ( CurrentDate ) ;

Self

)

)

There is no easy way to do this without some work.

Like I said there is no easy way without doing some work, nor is it a logistical for upkeep. Every time a new field is added or deleted, then the calc would have to be modified.
