How to automate date population between cells?

I am looking to store items within my inventory system. I have a column "storage date" that I populate when adding the item to the shelf. I also would like my retention date in the "keep until" column to auto populate adding a year to the "storage date" listed in that cell on the same row. Is there a way to automate this action or do I need to rely on a formula?

    Hi @Jtbeck

    I would probably use the following formula,

    if(isblank([storage date]@row),"",[storage date]@row+365

    and convert to a column formula, that way it is always there doing the job but not populating any rows that havent been added to as yet.

    Hope that helps
