05/25/2023, 2:29 PMYou'll need to share a screenshot of your field setup for there to be any hope of understanding it. My guess is No because the "Store Value" field is likely unmarked - but marking it is likely to break your existing records.

05/25/2023, 2:37 PMWell - you also have to consider how it gets populated on records moving into the future
