Hi Gustavo,

I think you are doing a workaround to format the received date (text) to date type in the current standard of your Appian environment.

I see in the first local variable, you should put 10 as the parameter for the right() function, as a date has 10 characters: example: 11/11/2023 -> 10 characters.

But I think this logic would be easier:

a!localVariables(
  local!tipoComprobante,
  /*I format the date I received to the standard*/
  local!formatDateText: datetext(userdatevalue(ri!date), "dd/MM/yyyy"),
  /* I transform it to date type*/
  local!finalDate: todate(local!formatDateText),
  /*Apply the logic needed*/
  {
    if(
      local!tipoComprobante = "INVOICE",
      or(
        today() <= edate(local!finalDate, 3),
        today() + 1 > local!finalDate
      )
    ),
    false
  }
)

Let me know if it works!
