    Is there a formula that automatically enters the due date and calculates the due date?

    I tried it but it didn't work; ifThen(not(empty(dueDay)),cDateDate= datetime\diff(today(), cDateDay, 'day'));​​

    This formula will suit you: https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...atetimeadddays

    - Three fields are created:
    1. Number of days - Integer type;
    2. Due Date - Date type;
    3. Date Date - Date type.

    - In Administration > Entity Manager > Your_entity_name > Formula > Before Save Custom Script enter the formula (be careful when specifying field names, because they may not start with "c"):
    HTML Code:
    cDueDate = datetime\addDays(cDateDate, cNumberOfDays);
    - You get an automatic calculation in the Due Date field:

    If adding or subtracting days is focused only on the current date, then you do not need the Date Date field and the formula will look like this:
    HTML Code:
    cDueDate = datetime\addDays(datetime\now(), cNumberOfDays);

            Judging by your screenshot, you have confused field Labels and field Names.
            Please send screenshots of the settings of all three fields used in the formula.​

              No, that's how I defined it.

                You did not send the screenshots that I requested from you, without them it's difficult to say anything.

                As for the formula, it works as it should (checked both formulas personally).
