Ability for variable dates in metadata templates
When assigned a metadata template as a Relay outcome, customer would like to have the Date value be dynamic and reflect the date the template is assigned, vs the date the workflow was created. The idea is that each outcome would change the status field of the file, and they'd also like to capture the date the status was changed. Knowing the date the status changed would allow end users to search for content in a certain status, by date range.
This functionality currently does not exist without asking the end user to manually update the date. Use case for this request is below:
What I envisioned was a case where our senior leadership could go search out a listing of all invoices that were put into, for example, the “sent to client” status on or before a certain date. That way they can direct the accounting team to follow up with the client on the status. It would be even more awesome if someday we would be able to set it up to assign a task to a specific person of the status field had a certain value and the status change date was a specified number of days ago.
