Hi All,

 

is there any way you can assign due date to "Assign a task" action 3 days from creating the task?. i can only see calendar where you can select a date or select today's date.

Hi there, 

In your workflow, I would do a calculated date of "Today + 3 days" ... and assign that to a variable.... and then in "Due Date", use that variable! 

Would that work out for you?

Cheers,

Rhia

You can use the Calculate Date functionality to assign your "Today + 3" date into a variable.

The "Store Date In" bit is where you'll put the variable you want to store the date in.

In nintex workflow o365‌ there is no such action as "Calculate date" however, but you can use its counterpart: "Add time to date":

In the end results are going to be the same.

Then you need to use, this way calculated variable in your "Due Date" field:

But I guess this is something you have already figured out

Hi Rhia,

Thanks again, I couldn't find this action in the office 365, how ever I found the below "Add Time to date".
