Create a default dynamic bookmark using a generated variable

[Domino3145]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a default dynamic bookmark where a date value is generated as a variable upon opening the app. I've gotten to the point where I have a variable "days_in_month" that, for example, could be a string of "*04/2024". When I wish to search for a date in my table I can search by simply typing "*04/2024" and it returns every day in that month, however when trying to implement this by using my value in following command:

=Date=days_in_month

It returns no matches; I cannot figure out the correct syntax for this. I have tried $(days_in_month) too and nothing. Does any know what the correct syntax for this would be?

What about using a month- or a period-field for the selection instead of the variable-detour?

This is a bit tricky because of the wildcard. If possible, I'd suggest appending the wildcard outside the variable, e.g.

vTest = J

=Person={<Person={"$(vTest)*"} >}Person
