Looks like I have to use Javascript to get a due date. How do you do this?
Add a number of days to a calendar date to get a due date.
There is a DATEADD(Date;Y;M;W;D;H;M;S) function for calculations that might do the trick.
Maybe something like DATEADD(TODAY(),0,0,0,30,0,0,0) and select Calculate one time only. This should create a date 30 days in the future.

The due date is different for each record.
2 fields are used here
1 -Original date of event.
2 – days until next thing is due.
It doesn’t look like you can use a field in the option “D”.
DATEADD(Date;Y;M;W;D;H;M;S)
Looks like D has to be a set number, not a var from another field. That is why I thought a script would be needed.
Hmmm… this works for me DATEADD([Date];0;0;0;[Number];0;0;0). [Number] has the type number; it even works as a text type.
Ok, using zeros in there made it work. I guess zero is adding nothing, not replacing with zero.
I missed that trick while getting it to work. Also, the example seemed explicit to real data not variables.
Thanks – would not have gotten there without help.
That’s right a 0 means add nothing for that specific calendar unit. All parameters are required.
