Creation Date

Hello everyone,

I wanted to add a date field in my database, in order to have the creation date of each record.

I was wondering if this date already exists within the records and if it does, how could I retrieve it and show it in my records.

Thank you guys!!!

create a formula field and as the formula add "_cd". Without the "

That field will show CreationDate (_cd)

_md = Modified Date

Would love to have this feature! Unfortunately, I don’t think it is working on iOS, which is what I use.

Yes, I think they are available in the cloud version.

You can make your own creation date and modified date.

In the Trigger on new Record for your table you can add a bit of code to fill in today() into a date/time field called createDate.

For Modify, you need to decide if you want a history or not. Then you can add to a Trigger after update that either:

1) modifies a modDate date/time field

or

2) create another table that tracks modify date/time.
