Would like to automatically update a date field for followups

Very simple, but I couldn’t seem to find it anywhere.

I have a “date contacted” date field, and a “follow up” date field.

I want the “follow up” date field to automatically populate a date that is one week out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rather than using a date field, you could use a Calculation field. The date functions are documented here, but here’s an example:

Date Contacted (Date)
1/1/2021

Follow-up (Calculation field)
1/8/2021

Follow-up’s formula:
3

@frank Thanks! That’s really helpful
