Use Case:
On Page A (Content Type A), there is a select list with options A and B
1st Rule for Choice A
User selects A, and a field "Date You Chose Letter" (a date field) captures the current DateTime.
2nd Rule for Choice B
User selects B, and the same field "Date You Chose Letter" (a date field) captures the current DateTime.
Easy enough.
But, when the User returns to Page A, makes some changes (and assume "A" is still selected) the 1st Rule triggers again, updating the "Date You Chose Letter" field with a new current Date/Time
The goal: Do not update the "Date You Chose Letter" field after the initial selection. So I need to set in stone.
Comments
Two choices
Two choices
a) Only run the rule when adding content.
b) Add logic to the rule so it only runs if the choice (A or B) changes. There is a way to compare the original value of a field to its new value
Rule
Ok, for option a), there is a condition I can choose for just adding content? I didn't see that listed.
b) Are you referring to the Data Comparison ?
For (b), yes the data
For (b), yes the data comparison.
Rules
The idea is to capture and keep the DateTime of when they initially updated the page with A or B.
After that I don't want a new DateTime. Just want to keep the old one.
