Hi Guys,

I have a requirement in D365 Online instance, i have a date field with past date and another field with current date. i need to trigger a plugin everyday at sometime and check the current date based on that i need to update particular entity active records and calculate the diff in days between Past date field and current date to get the value and populate in another field.

Need some inputs like how to proceed to get this done.

Thanks in Advance.

The easiest way to achieve your goal is to use Calculated fields:

If by any means you can't use calculated fields, create an app that will trigger the proper logic for you periodically, or put your plugin on Delete message and schedule a Bulk Delete job for example:
