[Forums] Static entity conversion

Hi, 

Is there a way i can convert a static entity record to text  or date.

I have a static entity which I am using to filter with so I need it to know when a choose a record I need it to return certain date.

For instance; Static entity name Filter and has Date and Name as records. I used a combobox to show a list of available filters, when I choose date I need it to filter according to today's date. I however cant seem to assign the static entity to a value because it gives me an error.

Any ideas on how i can convert the static entity record to hold the value I need it to?
