Best way to set any custom Due date is to provide your workflow Model with a custom date property, such as


<property name="custom:myDueDate">

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="custom:myStartTask" replace="true">
   <property-sheet>
       <show-property name="custom:myDueDate" component-generator="DatePickerGenerator" />

No-no-no…
This is not a solution for me, and probably it's not a solution for all, because it isn't user-friendly, I think… )))
I solved this problem by setting tasks due dates through Java action classes assotiated with tasks.

In future this workflow should have posibility to be autostarted (I don't know how to do this yet, but I have a time for this ) and adding some UI elements ISN'T A SOLUTION in this case.

Well, anyway, thank you for the reply!
