Hello.
For examle in proccess definition i have such timer

 <timer name="task_timer" duedate="#{daa_finishDate}" repeat="4 days">
      <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">

daa_finishDate = bpm_workflowDueDate - 5 days.

I found the reason and the poblem
If I put timer into the task-node All be right
but if i put into task it works incorrectly.

Hi Molti,

I'm trying the same thing. Where did you put the variable "daa_finishDate" ?

Is it really working without defining the transition in timer ?

Thank you.

Yes, it's working good.
I define "daa_finishDate" in transaction which goes to the task-node in which the timer is declared

Thank you for your reply.

I'm trying to edit Alfresco Adhoc task so that it send an email to assignee when it's due in 3 days. I can make the timer works when it uses absolute duedate eg: duedate="2 minutes" but fails when it uses my variable duedate=#{reminderDate}. I think I define the variable incorrectly. Hope you can share your thoughts.

This is my edited Adhoc task:
