Hi @cdutoit62,

I can suggest following steps to create your workflow:

1. Create a field in your table which will store an expiration date.

You can use DateAdd() function in the Formula field.

https://howto.caspio.com/function-reference/

You can use Triggered action or Calculated Value form element if you don`t want to set expiration date manually. 

2. Create a Сonditional Rule on Details section of your Tabular Report.

You need to set up a Rule which compares the current date with the expiration date. 

Please add a Virtual field and assign a hidden form element to it with a Timestamp default parameter.

3. Make all fields editable on Details section (assign TextField form element).

4. Create a conditional Rule which will make fields "Display only" if the expiration date is less then the Virtual field.

You can check this article for further information about conditional rules:

Hope this helps.

Thank for the advice Vitalikssssss

My details page is not tabular.  I'm not sure if that makes a difference but when trying to add a rule the virtual field is available but for some reason the calculated field in the table is not.  I also tried to create a calculated field on the details page but it still does not show up on the rules field picker.

Hi @cdutoit62 ,

Please note that only editable fields available in Conditional Rules.

Note that only standard, editable fields may be used in Criteria and the following cannot be used:

  • File Fields, Calculated Fields, CAPTCHA, and Distance Search fields
  • Smart fields, such as Timestamp and Password
  • Secondary field used in multiple search criteria (such as in Date Range)
  • Localized Number and Date fields, such as dd/mm/yyyy formatted date.
  • HTML Blocks

It doesn`t make a difference if you use standalone Details page i.o. Details section from Tabular report from my example.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
