Create a task, date formatting

[OttarLM]

Hi,

I am building a flow that is triggered by MS forms.

I want to use "submission time" plus 30 days as "Due Date Time".

I have tried many different methods to achieve this, without luck.

The most promising methods I have found is to use an expression with "addDays".

I have tried to format the date in this expression, but I can't seem to get it right.

Now I am hope some of you can help me get this flow working.

Hello,

You can use this dynamic expression only for getting the DueDate

formatDateTime(addDays(body('Get_response_details')?['submitDate'],30),'dd-MM-yyyy')

Please note that body('Get_response_details')?['submitDate'] is the value of the SubmissionTime variable from the response so make sure you are correctly referring it. To get the value move the mouse over variable and it will show you its syntax and then remove the variable and use the custom expression.

Hi @OttarLM,

@Rahber is correct, there should use the submitDate property to add the time, one point need to correct is the date format should be "yyyy-MM-dd", if the date format is "dd-MM-yyyy", when creating a planner task, it will recognize an invalid date:

addDays(body('Get_response_details')?['submitDate'],30,'yyyy-MM-dd')
