How to set deadline or timelimit for specific step within a workflow

Added by Manuel Boira almost 5 years ago

Hello there.

We need to set a timelimit or deadline for an specific step wtihin a worflow.

i.e. We have a project-A with workpackage-A following workflow-A composed of 3 steps (step-1, step-2, step-3).
Once transition to step-2 is done we need it to have a time limit of 15 days from the transition date.

Our b-plan is to set a cron job to check it via API but it would be fine to knof if is there any feature able to do that without external mechanisms.
We already played around with "custom actions" but it works with absolute values (i.e. 15-04-2020) but not with relative values as we need (i.e. 15 days).

Thank you very much.

Best regards
