how to retrigger Property calculator calculation rule?

Hello Community,

I put in place a rule in PC to calculate the displayed name of an object, it works well but now I looking how I can re-run this rule to update the existing objects,like the recalculate action on  property with automatic value?

Is it possible somehow?

  • Hi Guillaume,

    You’re on the right track. Unfortunately, Property Calculator (PC) rules typically trigger only on creation or when a relevant property changes — so to "retrigger" a rule, you'd usually need to force an update to the dependent field.

    One workaround is to batch update the related field with the same value (using a script or manual bulk edit), which should retrigger the calculation rule. Another approach could be to use automation (like a workflow rule) to simulate a change and fire the rule again.

    By the way, if you're dealing with formula logic or educational tools that support structured calculation, you might find something like Calculadora Alicia helpful — it's a free online calculadora secundaria designed for students and educators, but its interface is also great for testing out basic calculation workflows and logic.
