Jsinghroy Cloud Flow Designer Date add function
Good Morning,
I am have a issue with setting date in a variable field to be 30 days in the future. When setting up a date in salesforce I need to have the flow choose a date 30 days in the future and update the custom object. The object is a managed field and i cannot update the default value of the object so it must be done in the flow.
The frustrating part is that the flow only gives you the option for {!$Flow.CurrentDate}. in Sales force it would be easy with today() + 30. in other applications I would have some form of DATEADD.
does anyone know how I can accomplish to set the date 30 days in the future? I am not a developer but an analyst building a flow.
Thank you
I'm having a similar problem -- I need to calculate:
newDate = dateInVariable - X days
I ended up writing a lightweight Apex plugin to do the date calculations.
After hammering away at this for a while, I came up with a solution.
Go ahead and populate the variable with the Current Date, which you should be able to do in your Date Update or Allocation.
You can then write a normal workflow rule in Salesforce that goes off whenever a new record is created for that object. (I gave myself further insurance that this will only go off when created by the Flow by making a checkbox called "Generated by Flow" and having the Data Update push a TRUE value to it.)
Then use a normal workflow field update to affect the date field in question using normal formulas.
