Setting a delayed status when deadline < Now() in Business Rules

Posted on by PC-10101354-0 4
Hello.
I know that there is no direct way of comparing dates in Bus rules to current time, but what have others done to overcome this.

I have set up conditional rules for my dataverse table, so we can see what projects are open, completed, delayed etc. For delayed I want to have it so the column Deadline>Now(), but obvioulsy that cannot be done directly. How have others come around this??
Thanks in advance,
Paul

    Hello User,
     
    Please check it out the Calculated fields...if it is working as expected then no need for any customisation.

    One common approach is to use workflows or Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) to handle date comparisons. 
    Another approach is to use JavaScript on the form to perform the date comparison when the form loads or when a field changes.
