There is an activity extension which allows you to specify an expression in your task-definition to set the initial due
date of a task when it is created. The expression <emphasisrole="bold">should always resolve to a <literal>java.util.Date</literal>,
<literal>java.util.String (ISO8601 formatted)</literal> or <literal>null</literal></emphasis>.
For example, you could use a date that was entered in a previous form in the process or calculated in a previous Service Task.
<literal>java.util.String (ISO8601 formatted)</literal>, ISO8601 time-duration (eg. PT50M) or <literal>null</literal></emphasis>.
For example, you could use a date that was entered in a previous form in the process or calculated in a previous Service Task. In case a time-duration is used, the due-date is calculated based on the current time, incremented by the given period. For example, when "PT30M" is used as dueDate, the task is due in thirty minutes from now.
