To solve the lack of recurring tasks functionality in Notion, I am trying to create a scenario where whenever a task’s status is marked as done, a new, identical iteration of the task is created, but at a future date. The duration of the recurrence is based upon a select list field within the task itself. So, for example, if the due date of the task is 7/15/2024 and the recurrence is set to 7, then as soon as it’s marked done, a new task will be made for 7/22/2024.
I’ve got the scenario to work so far as correctly creating the new task EXCEPT for the date. I thought maybe something was wrong with my formula, since I was trying to use the property to dictate the number of days using the addDays function like so:
but it didn’t work. The even was created, but not date was added. Then I tried a version with the number of days manually added:
And although it added a date this time, it was the original date, not the date + 7 days.
Any thoughts? I’m including the blueprints below. THANK YOU!

Hey @alsage13
Welcome to make community
You should map the value “property value” between the ‘add days’ and the semicolon ‘;’
This will solve your problem

The correct format is
addDays (date; number)
Hi @alsage13
This is the format to use addDays function:

And if the date is coming as text you have to convert it into date format using parseDate function.

Thank you both. Not sure how I messed up that order! And thanks, @Msquare_Automation, for including the parseDate function. That did indeed make the manual version work.
But the scenario where I’m using another Notion field to dictate the number of dates for the addDays still isn’t working. Here is the updated formula:

I tried using parseNumber for the recurrence property to see if it needed it for some reason, but it didn’t make a difference (the text is just “7” so it’s likely unnecessary.)
Thanks!
Nudge. I am still stuck on this issue and appreciate any help! Thanks!
