Modify date for indicator string

[Mocte117]

Hi, someone can help me?, I have an input of an array1D (ItemNames), and an output of the same array that is modified with another VI (NewItemNames), the problem I have is that when I run the VI and select a date with the Time Stamp, my string indicator is not updated. I know it's because it's outside the Event Case, but if I add it inside as another condition, the program stops when selecting a date. I also couldn't use a while loop because the program wouldn't close when I clicked the cancel or OK buttons. I tried to use while loop or modify the event case, but it didn't work. I need the event case condition to remain the same, as I mentioned, the information that arrives is modified from this VI.

You write to start date and deadline in two places in parallel, and whatever writes last wins.

Yeah, I know that, I tried to used an event case for that but it didn't work :(.

I have no idea what that means!

So you apparently want to update the string when the data is selected. You need an event for that.

See if this can give you some ideas...

(If the ItemNames input does not contain a valid date, the current date is filled and the error canceled by wiring to the next structure.)
