Complete and await reply

[Indivio]

I was using Curt Clifton’s script in OF for the Mac. Now that we have Plugins, is there an adapted plugin for this? I saw a version of this, but unlike Curt’s script, I can’t seem to add days to it if I have a due date.

Thanks so much.

Check out this one on the official site: https://omni-automation.com/omnifocus/plug-in-complete-await.html

Thank you!

I tried that one. But when I look at the code, I’m not sure where I can add days. For example in Curt’s script:
if (daysUntilDue < 0) then

set due date of theDupe to missing value

else

set due date of theDupe to ( current date ) + 86400 * daysUntilDue

But I don’t see that option for adding days in the official page plugin. I’d like to set it to be X days out.

Maybe I have to stop using due dates and this will work fine 🙄

That plug-in doesn’t change any dates, but you can add that capability.

This page explains how to manipulate dates: https://omni-automation.com/shared/calendar.html
See the example ‘Generate Future Date’ which determines targetDate.

You can use that at the beginning of the plug-in action. Then set the due-date property of each new ‘waiting’ task:

dupTasks[0].name = "Waiting on reply: " + task.name
dupTasks[0].dueDate = targetDate;

I am so thrilled that you posted this. I use that applescript constantly and was going to work on creating a javascript version. It’s a lifesaver that it’s been done already. And this one of the major gaps for me between OF on Mac vs. OF on iPad. Excellent.

Thank you! This is fantastic. Really appreciate your input.
