Can we create a dynamic trigger?

[#1]

Hi Everyone,

I have a Month field, and if I'm using a trigger to select only the Months until Last_Month.

For example:

I have Months until May - but I'm using a trigger to get only the Months until April. Suppose if the data is updated and now I have Months until December - then the trigger should automatically select Months until November.

Is that possible??

Thanks

How are you specifying the selection right now? One possible way could be to use Select in Field for everything <Maximum MonthYear.

I can give better advice if I can look at the some data and see how you are specifying it right now.

Best,

Sunny

y= year field

m= month field

d=date field

this should create a (jan|feb|mar|apr)

='(' & concat({$ <y={"$(=year(Today()))"},d={"<$(=(MonthStart(Today())))"}>}distinct m, '|') & ')'

My suggestion is a variable that contains the desired threshold value. Then use the variable in the search string when applying a selection action. See attached example where a button triggers selecting all YearMonth values besides the latest one.

Note that I use YearMonth and not Month, as a selection in Month would for example exclude the month in every year. YearMonth only exclude one specific month.
