Search a custom module record based on a date range

Search a custom module record based on a date range

Hi ,
I hope you can share some guidance.
I need to look up a record from a custom module based on the Closing Date of a Deal (in the Deals module).
Here’s the context:
1. I have a custom module that stores quarterly values (e.g., rates or thresholds).
2. Each record in that module has a start date and end date.
3. I want to find the record where the Deal’s Closing Date falls between those two dates.
4. Once I find the matching record, I need to pull one or more field values from it and update the Deal.

Could you please help me understand:
How to write this function that searches the custom module using a date range condition?

Thanks so much in advance!

Este tema inseri mais uma camada a nossa idéia de inteligência artificial. Antes o desenvolvimento de sistemas operavam de forma reativa e dependente de comandos diretos,

It will be nice if we can set a expiry date and set reminders ( for example 90 days, 60 days, 30 days etc.,) Does Zoho workdrive provide that option?

Vendors have credit balances, by its nature, but some of our vendors have debit balances as well (e.g., we have paid
