Wildcard date filters in Fusion?

Is it possible to use a date wildcard in Fusion. For instance, if I wanted change the planned start date of a task to 3 days from today, or maybe backdate a project start date to last week? Can we use the date/time functions to do this?

Hi Brandon,

Yes, you can use the date/time functions in Fusion to do this. The 'Now' variable (available in date/time functions) behaves the same as the $$NOW wildcard in Workfront. Using this in combination with the 'add days' function should render the same results as a $$TODAY+3d Wildcard in Workfront. See screenshots below:
