Hello,

How does someone concat the name entered in a people picker field and today’s date but populate that info in a separate text field?

I have a people picker field called Requested By and blank text field called Requested By Value… I’m trying to populate the text field with the Requested By + Date but continue to fail in applying the value I want to output..

Help?

Hi @jpacheco 

 

you can do this using a variable. 
 

create a new string variable and use the following structure. 
 

[People picker.Email]+" - "+formatDate(dateNow(),"DD/MM/YYYY")

 

then use this variable in a label for the easiest display or using your rule, set the value of the field to the new variable when the people picker value is set. 
 

you might find that the rule will only kick once, you might need to update the rule to recheck each time the people picker sets.
