You can try something like this in a button:

 

if [date field] = today() then [field name] := [state] end

 

You would put the exact name of the date field and field name for [date field] and [field name] and your own value in place of [state]. Then everytime you clicked the button it will change the field to whatever you set it to.

 

Hope this helps.

Maybe you can try using the Trigger after open? You find this by clicking on the DB name, after you open it. Click on the red wrench. Click on Options.

 

To the best of limited knowledge there is no way to a chron like job in Ninox.

 

Then you need to change the code so it goes through the entire table, dending on your table size it could delay opening your DB.

 

Something like this:

 

for loop1 in Table1 do <-- opens a loop and grabs all records in Table1

let xDays := days(loop1.dateField1,today()) <--creates a variable that compares the number of days between your date field and today

if xDays >=30 then <--if the variable is equals to or greater than 30

loop1.([field name] := "Later")

end<--close the if statement

end<--close the for statement

 

For me, I always do these large modification triggers in a button first to make sure they do what I want. In addition, if you can grab a subset of records then you can modify the first line while you test out the code.

 

for loop1 select Table1 where field2 = "x" do

 

Good luck.

You could use a formula field to show the correct status rather than a choice Field, as formulas are calculated at the time the records are shown to the user.

If you physically want to trigger a change in the value of a field, without human interaction, this is a type of automation that needs to be done via the API. This could be achieved with Zapier/Integromat, or a custom script.
