Change Cell Value and Record a Date in Workflow

Glenn Ige

Hi there,

I cannot seem to add both the actions to Change the Cell value and Record a Date. At the end of the workflow, I want to change a cell to read as "Approved" and record today's date in another field. It looks like I can add one of the two actions in my workflow but not both.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Glenn

Hi @Glenn Ige

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to combine those actions because they have to be the last step, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Duplicate the Workflow and change the last action

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,

I ended up making a new workflow that enters the date based on a status change. It's not elegant but it works.

I've submitted the request too.

Thanks,

Glenn
