Hi @Nandini DM 

At the step you create the 3rd sctask, you can use script to calculate the due date based on the actual end date of 2nd sctask.

Sample below.

//replace <_5__create_catalog_task> by the step of 2nd sctask
var previous_task_actual_end = fd_data._5__create_catalog_task.catalog_task.work_end;
var gdt = new GlideDateTime(previous_task_actual_end);
gdt.addDays(5); //number of days
return gdt.getDisplayValue();

Hi @Nandini DM 

It's most probably because wrong syntax in your script. Can you help to capture the steps in your flow between 2nd and 3rd tasks?
