FreezerPro

Scenario:

I would like to set up a UDF that is a date, that defaults to 'today + x years' - where x is a number, in my case '2' (i.e. if today is 14/08/2018 -  the date will be defaulted  to 14/08/2020), but I also want to be able to change the date if I need to. 

I would also like to validate the date so that the one entered is not over x years from today. Where x is a number, say '3'

I was unable to the 'Text' UDF type to achieve this.

This functionality shouldn't be restricted to 'years' you should also be able to say today +  'x months' or 'x days' 

Brooks response:

I understand what you want to do, but, unfortunately that's impossible in FreezerPro without code changing.

The type 'Date' UDF doesn't provide you ability to add a value to the current date and set it as a "Default"; the 'Text Field' UDF doesn't allow to set a "Default" anything except a simple string (it's not possible to use a function and a math expression here, like you asked: Date.today.year+2).

I suppose that we can add this feature (ability to set a 'Default' to the 'Date' UDF) to the FreezerPro "to-do" list.
