Declining countdown

Posted on by MHine99

Morning all,

I would really appreciate some help with this, I’m trying to create a declining countdown to monitor if a certain number of things have been done in any given 28 day period.

The starting number will vary, and then each time someone completes a task and logs in the system I would like it to automatically count down.

the first number would be inputted into the main form, say 30, then once the task is done it is recorded in a sub grid in the main form, I want the 30 pulling through into the sub grid from the main form, and then subsequent entries should pull from the last task on the sun grid not the main form, counting down each time.

is this possible?

So if I understand you correctly, we're talking about a Model Driven App where you want to enter a number on a Form, then as child records are created you will start at that form number, then count down... something like this:

The answer is "Yes" this is achievable, it just depends on what tools you're most comfortable with. Personally, I would approach this with a Plugin (assuming we're not worried about multiple tasks being create simultaneously) but if you're not comfortable with C# code, then Maybe a Low-Code plugin using PowerFx or a Power Automate Flow (if you are reasonably confident there will always be a delay of a couple seconds between Task creations).
