Update Custom Activity Field

Hello,

 

I have two custom Activity fields: Result (picklist) and Result Date.

 

When somebody selects a Result, I want the Result Date to be filled in with the current date.

 

I can't figure out what the proper syntax is. Can anybody help me?

 

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to evaluate if "any value" from your picklist has been selected, rather than having to evaluate all 21 values just to see if 1 of them has been picked.

 

Something like 

NOT(ISPICKVAL(PicklistField,""))

Picklists are driving me nuts. :smileysad:
 
I've got this working:
IsPickVal(cst_result_code__c, 'Complete with Contact'). The trouble is, I have 21 possible results. Do I have to create a rule for each of them?
 
Is there a way to say "If a value from the Result Picklist has been selected, then set the Result date to today?"
 
OR
 
Is there a way to put all 21 options into the same rule?
