FORMS - Setting a due date

There are 3 ways this should be done.

  1. Automatic, hidden form item. For example, if this is a request for X, and processing that request shouldn’t take more than 2 days, then this field should be set to Today + 2 days. And that’s the due date that’s automatically applied.

  2. Allow the submitter to set the due date.

  3. By logic. Here the due date could have a default date, unless some other parameter was set. For example:

Default Due Date = Today + 2 Days
IF “Rush” field = “Rush Today” THEN = Today
IF “Rush” field = “Rush Tomorrow” THEN = Today + 1 Day

I was trying to figure out how to do this, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t a feature !

So disappointing that you can’t simply have the submitter set the due date.

We have Wufoo so luckily I actually have a workaround, but I went to Asana forms thinking I’d be able to let the submitter set a start and end date. I’m confused and surprised to find out it’s not possible…!

We want to use it for leave requests, so need a leave start and leave end date. It seems like such a simple thing that we should be able to do :neutral_face:

Hi @ceturley et al,

FYI you can set a Start and Due Due from fields in an Asana form, using the Forms Support feature of my Flowsana integration; for example:

I have to say, I have spent the last 3 weeks testing different apps from Jotform to zapier and so many more. I was looking for very specific things I needed to do and luckily every question i had was answered by you in this forum and where I found Flowsana. We are currently on the free trial period but Flowsana will allow me to save over $1500 a year by removing our other task management system and all the apps associated with it. Asana and Flowsana have been amazing and have done exactly what I need.
