Accessing $File/dates

$File is used in Fill and Find link line queries. You can modify the $File directly using the link expressions and the changes are automatically saved in the source record. When performing a fill on a date field, the system first checks to see if that date field is in the link record. If the date field is in the link record, the link expressions perform rather than just fill the current date and time. This way it is possible to fill with something other than tod() (such as date(tod()) or tod() + ‘7 00:00:00’).
