Hello, I'm having trouble with the overdue clock on the task list. None of the tasks I have require to the hour due times. So for most tasks I just have a due date of the date asked for. This causes a problem when I use the date for the deadline though, since the default time is 12 midnight, and the task deadline always calculates using the hour. The result is that every task looks like it is overdue on the day it is due when I would like it to show overdue starting the day after. Is there some sort of setting I can just update to tell it not to include hour when assessing overdue tasks? I'd rather not have to do some fancy calculation for every deadline I set. Thanks for any help,

I don't think the calculation will be too fancy. Play around with caladddays() or today(). Use caladddays() if you want to consider the deadline using "working days" only or if you just want to consider calendar days, then use the following to add the number of days to a date or datetime.

today()+1
now()+1

Thanks for the reply! Would the above option make it always due tomorrow, or does it only calculate at task assignment? THanks

Couldn't you just add 1 day to the pv! in the deadline? pv!dateDue+1

The task deadline gets calculated when the node gets activated. To reset a task deadline, you usually have cancel the task (via an exception flow or some other mechanism), and then reactivated it.
