Date triggering Workflow rule

Date triggering Workflow rule

I have a function triggered by a workflow rule. The function takes a date and creates a task for that date and fills in a field with the name of the day for that date. It also updates the status field of the record. The workflow rule is set to run whenever a record is created or edited. If the date field is empty and I enter a date, it works fine. However, if I merely change the date, nothing happens. If I clear the date, and then enter a new date it works. Is there a way to make it trigger the function just by editing the date without having to clear it first?

    • Function #50: Schedule Calls to records

      Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.

It looks like all department knowledge bases are displayed if they are public, and there is no way to hide one from the help center while keeping it accessible via a permalink URL. For example, lets say I have one KB for Clients and one for Employees.    I want to keep my Clients KB public, and also want the Employees KB to be public, but NOT displayed in the help center.
