Good solution. But what if I am using a Date/Time field? How do I structure the formula? I get this error if use just TODAY():
"The formula expression is invalid: Formula result is data type (Date), incompatible with expected data type (Date/Time)."

Try with the NOW() function.

Hi All,
I have a situation where I'm getting a date field from lead to opportunity, and I have approval process on the same field.
So while converting lead it is giving me a error as Record can be in one Apporval Process at a time.
I want to convert lead into Opportunity and then it will go to approval.

Please help.

Thanks in advance
Nilesh
