Default Date field based on different situation

Hi,

I have a field is called "Close Date" and user want to default that field based a pick list filed. For example, the picklist is abc, the close data should be today + 10 days. if picklist is bcd, the close date should be today + 20 days.

Is there any export in coding could help me out?

Thanks in advance

Hi Zhenyu,

Use the below trigger, Here I am assuming that your picklist API name is 'Type': 
trigger OppTrg on Opportunity( before insert, before update )
{
	for( Opportunity opp : trigger.new )
	{
		if( opp.Type != null )
		{
			if( opp.Type.equalsIgnoreCase( 'abc' ))
			{
				opp.CloseDate = Date.today().addDays( 10 );
			}
			else if( opp.Type.equalsIgnoreCase( 'bcd' ))
			{
				opp.CloseDate = Date.today().addDays( 20 );
			}
		}
	}
}
Let me know, if you need any other help.

Thanks,
Neetu

If both fields are on same object then you can use workflow and field update to update your closed date. 

You may need to create seperate workflow for each of your update. 

Workflow Rule Criterial
ISPICKVAL(your_picklist_field, "Picklist Value")

Select Closed date as field to update and select  "Use a formula to set the new value" and use below formula.
Today() + 10
