Custom Field Date - Stamping Today's Date On user Field
Completed
Posted Feb 04, 2021
I would like to stamp Today's date on custom created User Field in order to see when the form was created or a ticket field is updated.
Is there a way for us to choose @today, @yesterday, @tomorrow to be used in a custom date field on the action side of a trigger or automation. Most of the applications are capable of doing this including explore the reporting tool. So I think the selection for a date field should be relative also.
Thanks.

Wow, is there really no way to do this?

AGREED....this lack of functionality is very frustrating and it is a necessary logic for building robust triggers. We need TODAY as an option for date fields. New customer to Zen and we're struggling without this very common feature.

Hi everyone, although the following may not address all the challenges above, check this comment to see how to print the current date on a custom user field (using a webhook via trigger). Hope this helps!

I'm guessing the feature "to set a date in the future" was added after this post was made. But there is now an option "set to a number of days from now"

I wanted it to display today's date when the trigger runs. So in the custom date field functionally put it as 'set to 0 days from now'
so far in testing this has worked as expected.
