workflow to create task 3 years in future

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Looks like the dynamic values in workflows to create something in the future only goes to a max of 24 months, is there any way around that? I need to create a task to follow up three years into the future from when an order is submitted

    Thanks, I had considered the child workflow. I agree, three years is a lot but thats how long the subscription lasts and sales people wanted a task reminder. /shrug

    I think I'll probably look at the child workflow.

    Hi Matt,

     you can probably create a child workflow which will timeout for yet another year..

     Although, I don't know if I'd be going this route (not with the child worfklow - that should be ok.. but 3 years is a lot of time. I'd probably want to have a bit more control, so would rather have an external process running somewhere daily)
