Hi,

Is there a way to render the value of the current date in a custom group field without having to use database operations? It has to update daily.

Similiar like we use DateTime.now in queries (check screenshot)

Hi Davy,

I do not know in which context you want to use this information.

But the function "DateTime" are used in Queries, to search/filtering products out from a relative dateTime.

You could use a schedulleTask (SQL), to set the DateTime value, once per day.

I dont know if that would help you.

Hi Soren,

As a custom group field, a custom attribute on a group.

I wanted to know if i could do it without SQL

Hi Davy,

If you want the value updated once per day, I believe you need to make it done from a scheduled task.

You can use our "SQL add-in", to run the SQL command.
