Hi Stephane, Thinking in ”old-school” 4D code, using a trigger can be a good way to enforce a field population rule but an alternative is to create the date field’s object method and populate the integer from there. The code may well be easier to find and maintain from there. If you need help to do the actual conversion (and ‘de-conversion’ if that’s a word) I’m sure you’ll get plenty of suggestions if you ask. HTH, Keith
