cool feature proposal. i would propose to add an attribute duedatetime with the following syntax: where duedatetime:= [day] space time day:= (relativeday | absoluteday) | | relativeday:= today (+|-) [0..9]* [business] day(s) | | absoluteday:= dd/mm/yyyy | | time:= HH:mm[:ss] | | (the date formats should be configurable in the businesscalendar.properties) i proposed a separate attribute to ease the distinction between the currently supported delay-based format and the new format parsing does that make sense ? no not yet. just realized that we need to separate between relative dates and times and absolute dates and times. so my proposal above is not good enough, but it shows the direction in which i want to think. if you want please, propose something more complete and clean.
