I created a text document, at the bottom I want Silverfin to automatically fill in a date. This is the date of the annual general meeting. But I can’t manage to do that. Help. Thank you.

Hi @Ellen_ORF

Where should this date be pulled in from?  
If it’s from another template, you can check if there is a result you can include.  
See:

> [@CASE reference values across templates by using result tags](https://community.silverfin.com/t/case-reference-values-across-templates-by-using-result-tags/1157):
>
> If you want to reference a certain value or variable from recon template A in another template, there’s a way to do it with the so-called result tags in STL. They work like this (bulb just type in result and press TAB to get this preformatted code bulb): {% result 'name' content %} where the name is a shortname you can choose, and the content is the value or variable you want to reference to. Let’s say we have this variable done\_prepayments in our recon template Prepayments (which is al…

You can find the existing results on any template by navigating to the “named result” section by using the debug-mode.

> On company level, you can use the debug mode for any account or reconciliation template. This is greatly beneficial in order to have more detailled info on what a template is doing, without having to dive into the code without seeing the output (on firm level, you’ll never see that). How to activate? When you are on company level within the page that show the output of the template (account or reconciliation, so when you are viewing the details of those), simply add ?debug=1 at the end of the …

It is the same date as in the Silverfin document “Notulen van de algemene vergadering”. I don’t see how I can do this with what you told me.

Hi @Ellen_ORF

I had a look and it seems this date is filled out in the template with handle be\_legal\_company\_information  
and the result name is date\_general\_meeting

So with those pieces of the puzzle, you can do:

```auto
{{ period.reconciliations.be_legal_company_information.results.date_general_meeting }}

```

Kind regards,
