Adjust Date By Operation for Workflow Auto-start configuration

While using OpenPages 8.1.0.0.2, An option exists to auto-start a workflow from another workflow (parent workflow) , however there is no option to adjust the start date by doing day arithmetic (TODAY+/- 7 days) to allow for the child workflow to be started x number of days prior to the due date.

 

A similar functionality exists when we use the workflow to set a Date Type field and the configuration allows us to Adjust date by x number of days. Similar functionality would be really helpful while auto-starting the workflow either by itself or from a parent workflow.

    Would it make sense to have:

    1- the parent workflow marking the child ready next assessment

    2- set a date for the assessment

    3- have a schedule function that would start the child workflow if “ready” and if ”date”

    I greatly support this request. It is very useful to be able to do calculations  in validations and operations, at least with dates. For example to move the Due Date for a Test Plan forward (when a Tested Test Result has been linked / created) with the length of the period as determined by the TestPlan frequency. So Monthly --> +30, Quarterly --> +90. etc etc.
