Create a Conditional Due Date

Val Gendleman

Hello! I'm creating a recurring task issue via automation. I want to set a due date of Sept. 13 every other year, unless the 13th is a weekend, in which case I'd want the due date to fall on the previous business day.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Val Gendleman

Without seeing the specifics of your rule...you could check if the date is on a weekend using the format() function, and if so make an adjustment using the toBusinessDayBackwards function:

Thank you, @Bill Sheboy . This is really helpful. I'm just getting started using smart values and am wading through. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Best,

Thanks again, @Bill Sheboy -- you set me on the right track and I got the automation to work! I had an ongoing fixed due date of Sept 13, except when that date falls on weekends. I made the due date Sep 14 and used the BusinessDayBackwards function to ensure that the new task always appears on a business day.
