Dynamic collection to compare two values
Goal: Compare two files (one local to the client computer, one on a fileshare), and store in the collection if the local file is older than the one on the fileshare.
This is for a vendor application that does not use version numbers etc, and the installer file is updated by a 3rd-party. I do not want to rely on the 3rd-party informing we when they have updated the installer.
The ultimate goal is for a set-and-forget setup where every time the file on the fileshare (the installer) is updated, PDQ will go out and update clients as they enter the dynamic collection.
Is there a way to achieve this in PDQ Inventory?
I understand there is a manual method of setting environment variables yourself when the program is updated, but I am going for a set-and-forget setup here.

This is a workable workaround, thanks. I am making sure to leave a delay between running this package and my application package, as the dynamic collection isn't picking up the change instantly.
