Hi guys.
I have created a Global variable (say, "Date" with value = 01/10/2023).
I'm using this global variable in various formula fields.
But Can I use this Global variable in any Pipeline & Dynamic form rules (old form)?
Note: I know we can create a local Date field with Date field=ToDate([Date]) on table, but I don't want to create a new field. :)
Qrew LegendI believe you can use it everywhere but keep in mind this is just a text string. It's not a date, so in practical terms, to use it you need a formula to convert it to a date.
In a Pipeline you would need to use Jinja so that sounds complicated, more complicated than simply adding a formula to the table.

Your second point is still needed - the variable is not a field in that table so you cannot access the variable directly as if it's an actual field so despite not wanting to, you will have to create a new local field in your table that creates the value and then that field can be used in rules.
