How to calculate due date from receivedTime()

jessneuner

Hello!

I think I'm missing something simple and hoping the group will be able to set me straight. And possibly offer a different way to accomplish this -- 

We want to calculate a standard due date based on the submit/creation date of problems added to our hosted feature layer. By default, all new problems should be due 5 days after they were created. Because we are already using GeoEvent for a few other things as new records are submitted, thought we could add this in as well.

BUT, I don't know how to do it -- I think that maybe I'm missing a conversion back to date format?

Here's a look at the whole geoevent service: 

Here's what the Calculate Due Date looks like now -- but it does not work -- 

Thanks for any and all ideas!

Ok - I see what you are saying.  But, I can't change the field type because I was using an existing field -- i think that boolean is irrelevant (and confusing). 

So then - i tried to a new field and then using the field mapper -- but that didn't work either. 

Then, i remembered this: the due date field is new since this geoevent service was created. and even though i had added it to the geoevent definitions i was using for the inputs, etc --- the output service (Update a Feature Service) didn't know about my new duedate field. BUT - i don't know how to fix that without recreating the output service.  

Anyways -- removing this output,  deleting the corresponding output service, recreating it that service, then reconfiguring my geoevent service fixed the use.  The field calculator as originally designed worked as expected. oy!
