How to schedule a following Fixed date transition [#486592]

Hi,

I've got a little question with workflow module. I need to set up a workflow with 3 states. Everything seems to be absolutely clear, my question is, what would be the best way for the author to be able to setup the workflow the following way:

1) set the date of the first transition

2) set the date of the second transition

Ideally it would happen in one step, so the author would fill in one form. Right now the author can change from state 1 to state 2. After he changed to state 2 he is able to change to state 3. So, is it possible that the author would define the scheduled transition dates for all states in one step?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

This isn't a feature currently supported in Workflow. Since this request is over 2 years old, I'm going to assume a solution was found or you've moved on. If not, please get updated to the latest versions of all modules and make a request for it against Drupal 7 and I'll be glad to take a look at it.

Title:	Fixed date transitions	» [META] Fixed date transitions

Reopening this as a META issue, since it is a nice general example:
- user sets a state1;
- user sets a date (or a from-to date);
- admin creates a Rule "if node has state1 and from-date has passed, then set to state2";
- admin creates a Rule "if node has state2 and to-date has passed, then set to state3";
- when time comes system changes the state1 to state2, and from stae2 to state3;

It would require:
- a Workflow field
- a Date field
- a Rules condition to execute the transition.
The issue queue contains some building blocks for this. We need to collecct the requirements, to get a robust solution.
(If it already exists, we need clear documentation)
