Hello everyone,

I’m working with Bonita 7.0 and have tasks that have an estimated duration that I can see in the Bonita Portal.  
Depending on the value, this “due date” is displayed in the task in month (ex: in 4 months), days or hours.

Is it possible to force it in days?  
For example, “in 4 months” would be displayed “in 100 days”.

Thank you for any answers!

Jean-Yves

I don’t see an easy way to do this, except downloading the source and creating a specific version for this requirement by changing the code.

4 months is also no-where near 100 days (depending on the time of year) so it is not possible to JavaScript the answer either.

I suggest creating a post on the idea’s forum to make date calculations (like this one) configurable to various options

Show as months, weeks, days  
Show as weeks, weeks, days  
Show as days, days, days

Thanks Sean,

I didn’t find a better solution so I created a post in the Ideas section:
