Workflow Automation
When I set this up I was hoping that the "Date is between" would increment weekly to coincide with the "When a date is reached".
It does not.
Did I miss something or it's not possible?
Thanks

My understanding has been that Automation Workflows have not evolved to be as dynamic as you are trying to make them. Short answer: No, but that'll be cool when they give us that ability! 😀

Hi @DanielGD
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Add a so-called helper column with a formula checking for the same.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
