Hi all,
I've got a date field called 'Submitted Date' being automatically filled in with this FormCalc:

if ($.rawValue == null) then

$.rawValue = num2date(date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")

endif

And I've got another date field called 'Modified Date'. Once I save the PDF, I have the 'Submitted Date' filled in and the 'Modified Date' blank. If I open it again to edit, I would like the 'Modified Date' to fill in if the 'Submitted Date' is not null. I'm having issues figuring it out, I'm brand new to LCD. I've searched for anything that looks like this, but haven't come up with much. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Use this FormCalc in the calculate:event of the Modified Date field.

if (SubmitDateField.rawValue == null) then$.rawValue = ""elseNum2Date(Date2Num(SubmitDateField.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY")  + 7, "MM/DD/YYYY")endif

Hi radzmar, I think this code will work good. I've taken it and modified it a bit, see below. I think this will work best! Thanks!

var d=num2date(date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")
if (SubmittedDate.rawValue == d) then
$.rawValue = ""
else
//Num2Date(Date2Num(SubmittedDate.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY") + 7, "MM/DD/YYYY")
$.rawValue = d
endif
