Numeric / Monetary Field Types
- Select Field: Choose any numeric or monetary field as the input.
- Operations: Navigate to the Operations dropdown and select the applicable operation: add, subtract, multiply, or divide.

- Save Action: Enter the specific value for the operation and click Save to apply the action.
Date Field Type
- Select Field: Choose a date field or use the current date.
- Operations: Add or subtract days, months, or years from the selected date field.
- Update Field: Select a date field to update with the new value.
- Save Action: Confirm the operation and click Save.
Note: If the output value is negative, it will be replaced with zero to maintain data accuracy.
Custom Values and Trigger-Based Operations
In addition to standard fields, you can now select and update custom values in the Math Operation action. Custom values can also be derived from triggers, adding more dynamic functionality to your workflows.
How to Use Custom Values in Math Operations
- Select Field: Choose from any numeric, monetary, date, or custom value field.
- Operations: Select the operation you wish to perform (add, subtract, etc.).
- Update Field: In the Update Field dropdown, you can now update either a standard field or a custom value. This flexibility allows you to update workflow data in real-time.
