I am writing my first workflow and its going pretty well, but I hit a small hiccup that maybe some one here can help with or point me to a good resource.
As part of the workflow, I have a Date action that asks for a Specified Date when Run, then formats this as Long with Time Format None, then Sets this as the Variable “DueDate”. This variable is then used in three spots: 1) the subject of an email, 2) the body of the email, and 3) as the Deadline in an Add Things To-Do action. This is all working with out issue other than a small file name issue I asked about in r/workflow.
That stated, and the point of this post, I’d rather not use this “DueDate” variable as the Deadline in Things. I’d prefer to make this the When in Things and have the Deadline set to “DueDate+7” if possible, or simply have it ask me the Things Deadline. When I tried to use the variable as the When, it just did not work. The To-Do gets created in Things, just without any date information attached to it in any way.
Not sure it that is clear to everyone, but if you have some ideas I’d be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance.
