Is there a way to configure a column so updates made to another field on a record will make changes to that column? For example, if I’m managing my pipeline for a job search and I have a column that’s “interview date” and another that’s “stage”, I’d like the value of the stage column to change to ‘interviewing’ when I add a date/time to the interview date column.
Updates to one field automatically change another field
+21An IF() should do the trick. Here’s an example for the Stage field:
IF(NOT({Interview Date} = BLANK()), "Interviewing", BLANK())
or if the logic inversion is confusing:
IF({Interview Date} = BLANK(), BLANK(), "Interviewing")Very helpful. Can this be used if the the column’s field type is ‘single select’? I can’t seem to add a formula to the field
+21Unfortunately fields can only be one type. I realize that the design of the Single Select looks nicer than plain text, but as you can see, that field type doesn’t allow the selected option to be set via a formula.
