Timelines/Combining Dates into 1 Date field.
Hey Everyone, I had a question on an issue I'm running into. I'm have a Schedules app that takes a Job and gets the Start Dates for all 4 phases of that job, as well as duration for each of those p...

Hey Mark,
Yes, so I have a record that technically has 4 start dates on it, to account for each of those 4 phases. BUT for 7 different departments tied to that job...
So my automation takes all of those start dates 28 total for 1 record, and when the record is created, the automation triggers to send these all to another table where I'm able to combine them into 1 start date field to work for Timelines. Can this be done without an automation?

Qrew Legend1. Are you saying that you have 1 Automation which has 28 Actions?
2. Is the error happening when you mass create Jobs? Or mass Trigger the Automation when you Grid Edit? Or when you create them manually one by one?

- 1. Correct.
2. The error seems to happen at random, never when I'm creating jobs, when another user is. So I haven't nailed down when it occurs yet. Also, I get a notification from an automated QB Email, but whenever I go into the Automations, the column that displays the Error Count Last 7 Days is always 0? So I'm not entirely sure whats going on.

------------------------------- Hmm interesting, maybe a bug?
I don't have that much experience with automations let alone errors in them so this is new to me.
Would the automation fail if there were errors? It's still working as desired and haven't noticed any issues besides that random email notifying the error, but again, when I click it to view, the error history is 0.
