Automatically 'reset' property

Franck
Hello all,
We face the current problem. We have documents (typically ID cards), we need to change periodically.
When the user sends us the new ID, we drag and drop it over the previous one.
No problem, but quite often, my users forget to reset the new effective date of the document ! and we ask the customer again for his ID card...

Is there a way, using metadata card, we can 'clean' the effective date (which is mandatory), so the user will have to enter a new date ?

Best regards,
Franck

  • Perhaps the script logic could first check if the file data has changed on the document (you can maybe use the free Utilities module to detect this, it has a configuration option for a separate file version property) and then compare the date value with the previous version's value to see if it has been updated. If not, then do something.
