Automate new plan and tasks based of variables

[joesparty_ro]

Hello,

My goal is to create a plan with 23 new tasks based on 2 variables; name and date.

• Is it not possible to create a new plan dynamically?
• For each task how can I create them if the plan is going to change each time? Currently, I can select a group_id, but I want to avoid having to do that 22 more times.
• I am trying to create a variable to enter a future date, how could I modify this? formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MM/dd hh:mm tt').  I want to type in a value, like '2020-02-15'
• For each task how can I create a due date based on the excel function WORKDAY? I will be using the final date variable to subtract by workdays to calculate the due date.

I've been able to create new tasks using the existing flow below as my start.  I haven't been able to pass the name or date variables into the create tasks.

Cheers,

-Joe

Hi @joesparty_ro ,

For your first question , you could create a new plan dynamically.

For your second question, if you want to avoid having to add the "Create a new plan" 22 more times, you could consider modify the flow and then run the flow 22 times, or you could create an array for the task.

For your third question, the expression should as below:

formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd')

 For your forth question, could you please explain more details about the requirement?

Best regards,

Alice
