Skip to main content
Date Type = Text Area

 

Field Name = Scheduled Date

 

I would like the General Option Default Value to have today's date and also state "Please let Office know if you are unable to get to this job today."

 

I am getting sytex errors when adding this: 

 

TODAY()

 

"Please let Office know if you are unable to get to this job today."

 

I've tried several ways and I know this is a pretty simple thing, but im just doing trial and error.

 

Thanks

    It does not make sense to have a scheduled date field to have text and date in it. In case if you want to show text and date in the same field: 

     

    1) Let the Scheduled Date field have the default value of TODAY() in it.

     

    2) Do not display it to the users and only visible to admin.

     

    3) Create a formula field of type text and it should have the value of your text and concatenated with the date field and display it to the users.
