Task Due Date default value 1

[menu]

Dear All,

In Task "Start Date" the default value is "Today's Date", however I want to set the default value of the Task "Due Date" to be "Start Date + 7 Days"… can anyone help.

Thanks Greg for your reply, but what I mean is not the workflow task; it's about the Task object in TaskList Container I thought that we can modify the code in createtask.html located in task_2_2_0\html module by modifying the following lines.

FROM: ;;call <htmlPrefix + 'datefield.html'>( 'DateDue', undefined, TRUE, TRUE )
TO: ;;call <htmlPrefix + 'datefield.html'>( 'DateDue', data.DateDue + 7, TRUE, TRUE )

Dear All:
For the sake of sharing the information, I would like to share the following:

To set the default value of the "Due Date" in the Task Item to be for example (Current Date + 7 Days) do the following:
1. Backup %OPENTEXT HOME%\module\ilinkgui_3_0_0\html\0\createtask.html
2. alter the following line:

From:
;;call <htmlPrefix + 'datefield.html'>( 'DateDue', undefined, TRUE, TRUE )

to:
;;call <htmlPrefix + 'datefield.html'>( 'DateDue', Date.Now() + ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 7), TRUE, TRUE )


Admin : if you think this information is no valid/wrong please remove it, forgive me I'm new to LiveLink this is my second month with the system.

Good job.But since you have modified this all your tasks now have seven days.If the business need is that well and good.If you have builder see if you can remove the hard coding and specify something like a conditional

 ;if mytask meets duedate+7 condition
    ;then my modified code executes
  ;else
    ;standard template executes

This is the fun of working with livelink.Enjoy your programming.
