Hi all,

Can we able to set the default value for date local variable as current date + 3 weeks ?

I know we can use this function AddDays(CurrDate(),21) and assign the duedate in client action.

But how can I assign in default value ?

Hi Sowndhar,

Default value should be a literal, no expressions allowed.

So the best way to do is to do the AddDays() in OnInitialize event, and assign the result to the local variable.

Hope this help.

Hello
You can add a default value for the variable type,
we cannot add a formula to calculate here
You can do that calculation on initialize action or you need to add assign on any of the flow where it is.
