How to change status based on expiry date

[rabii]

you can use a job and schedule the job on specific time, it will be executed in the background without need to save.

At the end of the day, must have it else not possible. Not unless you can create a CRON job to refresh it on a time basis.

hi Shalmaxb,

Thank you for tthe reply, If im not mistaken this will be done after the save right?
In order to do it automatically (Without save) what should i do?

[shalmaxb]

This is easy to achieve by formula datetime

ifThen(
datetime\date(expiryDate) > datetime\today(),
entity\setAttribute(status, 'Expired')
);

Advance Pack not necessary.

Hi All

I need some help.
I've created a new entity called session, in that entity I have 2 fields, they are status (Enum) and expiry date (Date).

For default I've set the status to "Active", however I need to change the status automatically into "Expired" when the expired date hits greater than today.

Is there any way to achieve this using formula since i don't have the advance pack.

Thank you in advance for your help
