If your process includes confirming your applicants degree dates, you may find it valuable to create a custom property that isolates these dates from the appropriate schools (e.g., medical schools attended).

Building the Custom Property

Add a calculated field as a custom property. The calculation below returns the date the applicant received their degree from their primary medical school. To isolate a degree date from other schools, replace the forms?.medicalSchoolsAttended?.medicalSchoolsAttended?.rows variable with the appropriate key to identify the correct school and degree.

{ 
    /* This calculation returns the date the applicant received their degree from their primary medical school. */
 
    /// First, validate that at least one row exists in the med school table.
    let u = forms?.medicalSchoolsAttended?.medicalSchoolsAttended?.rows;
    if ((u === undefined)||(u.length == 0)){return null};
 
    ///Filter down to just the primary med school attended, return the year.
    let a = u.filter(f => f.isPrimarySchool == "Yes");
    return a[0].degreeEarnedYear;
 
}
