I’m trying to get a repeating group to show events which occur later than the current date/time. That works just fine - Absolutes start >= Current date/time gives the desired response.
What I really want is to be able to show events that started within six hours before current date/time. Absolute start >= Current date/time +hours: -6 is invalid. I can’t even get the statement into the editor. I always get Current date/time +hours: (More…). When I click More I get the (Search) and the list of available options, none of which allow me to enter the -6.
Am I doing something wrong, or does this no longer work?
You’ll need to use your mouse to select the string value "-6" in the dropdown.
There is no -6 in the dropdown. I made a new blank page with two text boxes, one for current and one for -6. Still cannot get the -6 to work.
You have to write it -6 and it will appear as the first choice in the dropdown…
carlovsk.edits, thank you very much. I don’t know why that works now, but watching your video did the trick. I had not been getting the popup with “-6” in it, and that was it.
YouTube is full of knowledge, so much of which is wrong.

Arbitrary text converted to numbers is easier. Both work.
I don’t like the arbitrary text method. Yes it may be easier, but carlovsk.edits way lets me see at a glance what my constraint is. The text way is not obvious. Thanks for pointing that out.
Agreed. It is easier though once you need calculations.
Good point. I don’t need calculations - yet…
