Automatically set a date based on a checkbox
I want to be able to automatically set a due date of the next day based on a 2 criteria 1) a check box is checked, and 2) a cell having text in it.
For example (we do cabinet installations)...A check box for "repair doors needed" is checked, AND "Repair door sizes to order" cell has text in it. When those 2 criteria are checked, I want to automatically fill a "Repair Date" cell with the next day's date.
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately SS doesn't have a timestamp feature other than created and last updated. You can submit an enhancement request here...
Come see me in Seattle at ENGAGE 2024! I will be at the 10xViz partner booth throughout as well as the "Lets Talk About Community" Meet & Eat table on Tuesday from 11:45am - 12:45pm!

Hi Steve,
What Paul wrote is correct, but a possible workaround could be to use the formula below and with the help of a third-party solution like Zapier or similar change the date permanently.
Try this.
=IF(AND([repair doors needed]@row = 1; NOT(ISBLANK([Repair door sizes to order]@row))); TODAY(+1))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(AND([repair doors needed]@row = 1, NOT(ISBLANK([Repair door sizes to order]@row))), TODAY(+1))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic day & Happy Holidays!
