you mean when endtime is more than 6 months after starttime?

[robust stream]

for example team started today 1/14/2023 (using local date time)

and it should end 6 months from now

and team should become automatically finished

[tacit lake]

so the finished should only depend on whether endtime is before or after tze current date?

[robust stream]

after the current date

nope nope

[tacit lake]

ok

[robust stream]

on endtime

[tacit lake]

yeah, endtime should be compared to the current date, right?

[robust stream]

right

and i want to validate that

[tacit lake]

Are you using a getter for finished?

[robust stream]

yes for both

[tacit lake]

What about that: You remove finished but instead of removing the getter, you change it to:

public boolean isFinished(){
    return LocalDate.now().isAfter(getEndtime());
}

then you don't store whether it is finished but calculate it on the fly

[robust stream]

ooh i like the logic

[tacit lake]

and if the end time is always 6 months after the start time, you could also do something similar for endtime if you want to

[robust stream]

ok ty i will try

really helped

[tacit lake]

no problem
