Workflow duedate - task form

[matjazmuhic]

My due date isn't showing on task forms. When I go to my workflows and view the details, under summary there is "Due on Fri 10 Dec 2010", but under  general info "due date:" is empty.

Any ideas?

Is this a custom workflow you are talking about?

Just to clarify there are 2 due dates, one for the workflow and one for each task.

Most of our out of the box workflows set the task due date to be the same as the workflow due date (the one you set when starting a workflow), have a look at any *processdefinition.xml file you'll see the following lines:

if (bpm_workflowDueDate != void) taskInstance.dueDate = bpm_workflowDueDate;
if (bpm_workflowPriority != void) taskInstance.priority = bpm_workflowPriority;‍‍

in my custom process definition, it looks like below..
