Re: Date variable App Wide
There is a little used feature in Quickbase called application variables. They are accessed through
Settings
Variables
They are limited in that the field type is only text. However you can still use them for your purposes. For example you could have an application very bold called
Current fiscal year start
With the value of
June 28, 2017
Them anywhere in your app you can use the formula
ToDate([Current fiscal year start])
So you were for to the application variable in square brackets just like any other field, except that the field will not be listed in any field less. It will be a globally available in all tables in that single app.
Of course, it is then totally up to you to remember to update the application variable when the year rolls around.
