Allow date tokens in filters, advanced search fields, reporting/dashboards, and rules

This would be amazing.

The current state requires a date to be specified.
I want to set the date as a variable.
For example,

• After 3 days before today
• Before 3 days before today
• Between 3 days before today and 3 days after today

Rule condition for "Due date is {+/- x} days away"

My use case: I want a rule that will flag form submissions if the due date is within the next two weeks (i.e., less than or equal to 14 days after today). I would like to trigger on “Task is added to this project” and condition on this due date operation. There are numerous other feedback requests about similar asks (more flexibility in the due date approaching trigger, for example), but I don’t think any of them address my need. In the meantime, does anyone have any workarounds for this that …

Rules: When due date is changed, check if due date is today?

Under the trigger When due date is changed, you can check if the due date is… However, it seems you can only pick a static date, which doesn’t make much sense. Am I missing something, or is it not possible to set the rule to check if the due date is today? Does anyone see how creating a rule that checks for a static due date is useful? I can’t imagine a use case for this type of rule configuration. [image] [image]

@ka_nishiyama,

Allow date tokens in filters, advanced search fields, reporting/dashboards, and rules

Permit the use of tokens for dates (similar to “me” for Assignee) in filters, advanced search, reporting/dashboards, and rules. With that feature, you could use the “Between” option specifying something like: Between “today” and “next month”, or Between “today-30” and “today+30” and not have to change your parameters day-to-day.

Does that old request from me cover your request? If so, let me know and I can merge this topic into that one. Otherwise, consider voting for both!

Thanks,
