How to update picklist value from a separate date field comparing to today's date?

Not sure but I cannot find a clear answer to this.  I have a status__c picklist value we want changed from "Installing" to "installed".   This should change based on a separate field that we created that has an "install_date__c" entry (date field). When system date matches this date field we have we would like the picklist value to change on status__c.   Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Glenn,

You can write workflow for this. 
1. Create workflow
2. Select appropriate criteria (install_date__c == Today())
3. Use Field update and update picklist field you want

I hope this will help you.

Thanks,
Sukanya

Ok, this is very staright forward.  But another question - I want the field to update from one pick list item to another.  But only one particualr picklist item not all when the rule triggers.  Any way to isolate the field update to just one of the potential current picklist items?

Hi Glenn,

The another field you want to update is on the same object? I am not getting you question clearly.

Thanks,
