How to populate a date field using automations

[alex_bray]

So I’m wanting to populate a date field with a date 60 days in the future, whenever another date field is updated.
Example:
In a CRM, I enter ‘latest call date’ field as today, I want it to automatically populate "next call due’ date field with a date 60 days in the future.
Any tips?

You first need a formula field like this

DATEADD({Date Field}, 60, 'days')

If you dont want it to be a formula field for any reason, then you can use this formula field to update the other date field using an automation
