Good afternoon,
We have a document class (Duty Roster) that contains multiple duty periods for staff.
Each period has a Start Date and an End Date.
We want to improve usability for Managers creating these periods. Ideally, when a new period is added:
-
Start Date should automatically default to
End Date of the previous period + 1 day
Example:
Period 1 → 01-Oct to 05-Oct
Period 2 → "Start Date" should default to 06-Oct
Because the length of each period varies, we cannot use a Property Calculator that assumes a fixed number of days.
Is there a way to automatically set the next period’s Start Date based on the previous period’s End Date when the document is created, and preferably without using Property Calculator?
Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Patrick.
