Date as Input parameter / variable for later use

Can I save a Date as variable and later use its value for example in filters? Is it possible with macros and how?

Can you explain further?  Do you want to use a specific date in future workflows, the same workflow but downstream, etc.?

Hi @samorod70,

 

Sure you can! I made 2 alternatives for you :-):

 

1 - Make a variable a user variable in de "workflow tab", see printscreens. In the second filter tool i used this variable:

2- Make a interface tool "text box" question. Name the tool and the name will be listed in the "workflow tab".

The second one is for macro usage (or app) and the first one is for both (including normal workflows). 

 

Greetings,
