I love the Display Rules and use them often to highlight dates. I could not find, however, a way to set a Display Rule on a date field compared to another date field. It would be very helpful if we could highlight a date based on another custom field (e.g. expiration date of a policy vs. completion date of a project) to determine if a project is tracking an early completion, or if a policy will need to be extended to accommodate a completion date that is delayed. I’m sure there are other uses in different businesses where this would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello Jennifer,

you can use an equation field to compare two date fields. and then use that new field in the display rule.
