Due Date +1 (Requested due date & flexible due date)

Hello from a Workfront newbie. This is my first post to the Community, so I hope I'm asking this question correctly. I’m new to using/setting up WorkFront, but I’m hoping someone can help me with this.

 

We have a custom form that our requesters fill out to submit creative requests for our designers. We ask them for their due date of the project. Knowing that dates are “flexible” on some projects we also ask them if they have a “latest possible due date” (like an absolute drop-dead date) which would not be the same date as their requested due date. (it would be at least +1 day from that requested date) They can choose whatever this "flexible" date can be, but it has to be at least 1 day greater than the original requested date that they picked.

 

Is there a way that I can have a field that will automatically push out by 1 or more days from that original requested date? 

 

If someone has any suggestions, and could provide me with step-by-step instructions, I would greatly appreciate it!

If you always want this Flexible date to be automatic to +1 day to the requested date, you can use Calculated field on your custom form with below simple expression.

 

ADDDAYS({DE:Requested date},1)
 
Note that you wont be able to edit this new calculated field, it will only be read only.
