I want to know if it is possible to generate a task based on the date of a variable. If this is not feasible or there are many risks, could someone offer a solution based on this need.

So I have a catalog item that has a variable that is a date field. The way that I want this workflow to work is:

a. Customer submits the form,

b. All approvals go through,

c. An email goes to the customer letting them know that the access has been granted.

d. Once all tasks have been completed, I want the workflow to stop & wait but not close the RITM because the variable that is a date field I want a task to generate when that date has been reached.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Karen

You can do something like below. add timer after wait for task timer

Timer

Name: Wait for End date

Time based on: Script

Script:

var endDate = current.variables.end.getDisplayValue();
answer = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), endDate, true);

Thank you for this article.  The community comes through once again.  I had a very similar requirement to delay on creating a task until a date/time is met from a variable and this worked perfectly!!!
