Can use JavaScript to set an expiration date for list updates?

Hello.

 

Can use JavaScript to set an expiration date for list update activity?

 

I want to set when updating the workflow list without using Explorer.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

You can use the update data activity after the list creation to set the expiry date.

In case you want to have a computed label for your List,

1.you can store it in a instance variable first

2. set the label using instance variable.

3. set expiry date using a update data activity as per the following.

 

Thanks,

Deb

Hi Deb, I selected what you have above and when it populates it in the Updated dimension it's the same as what you have above ("List of recipients"). Same error. Thanks, Cindy

Can you try using nms:group instead of what you are using in "updated dimension" and run the workflow?

Thanks,

Deb

    @debtr Thank you for your reply! Sorry for the late confirmation. What is a "list calculation label"? Is it the "Internal Name" of list? Thank you.

    Yes You can set this up. Just create a workflow that read list table and select list without expiration date and update them with a data update activity.

    Thanks,

    David

      @davidkangniThank you for your reply. Does that mean selecting "Delete" for "Record identification"? I want to delete unnecessary lists after the scheduled time. Thank you.
