Formula for Expire Date: "CreatedDate + 30" not saving

Hello,

 

I have a Date/Time field named Expire_Date that I want to be set to thirty days after CreatedDate.  This seems straightforward; here's what I have in the forumula textarea:

 

 

CreatedDate + 30

 

 Should, work right?  However when I create new objects (it's a "Quote" object), the field is blank.  Do I have to perhaps do something explicitly on object create that will populate this field?

 

Thank you in advance for any help!

Is the datatype of your "Expire_Date" field Date/Time or Formula(Date/Time)?  

 

If it is Formula(Date/Time) you should be all set.  I use the same Field and Formula on my SFDC Org and it works fine.  

 

If the field is a "straight" Date/Time, then you'll need to set up a Workflow Rule with a Field Update (but you'll still be able to get where you want to be).
