Hi Balakrishna,
In case you are asking about what will trigger the Workflow/ trigger this is how it is:-
In workflow you will check if the field in question has changes say the field is "DueDate" - there is a function ISCHANGED(fieldname) use that in your workflow rule.
Then defire a field update where change the value of the Text field.
2. Conversely in a trigger you will check the value in:-
if(trigger.new [i].DueDate != trigger.old[i].DueDate )
{
Add code to change text field say
TxtField='Test MEssage';

}

Does it clarify your question ? Do let me know ..

Well a one liner answer would be via workflow or trigger ...

But if you provide greater detail one may be able to answer better ...

 

Thanks ...

Create a workflow rule with the field update actions.
Using formula editor apply below code.
