Question About Using Fusion for Planned Start Date

[jayciedido]

Hi!

I'm currently building some scenarios for my company's Workfront instance and I would like to use Fusion to set the Planned Start Date to the Entry Date of the request.

I have a Workfront > Misc Action module to convert an Issue to a Task and in the Planned Start Date field I have it mapped to the Watch Event module's Issue's Entry Date. However, when Fusion runs the scenario, the planned start date is not updated to reflect the entry date.

Can someone help de-bug the scenario I have written? I've attached photos to show my modules and the results in Workfront.

Dates are constraint bound and their time matters. Dates are also bound to their parent and child objects. If the update is not reflecting it means there is a constraint in place preventing you from changing that date. I have run into this before and it is frustrating because Fusion does not throw an error but if you try and do it on Workfront it will throw an error.

See Adobe article: Task Constraint overview | Adobe Workfront 

Try and resolve this on your own, if not please provide more information / screenshots. Here is a snippet from one of my scenarios that changes task dates

Yes. Totally agree with Lawson feedback. Even I had similar problems with Task Constraints.

Use "Fixed Dates" or " As soon as possible" constraint for updating Planned completed date field.

Also having predecessors on task will change the date values. So check on predecessors settings too.

Thanks,
