Thanks, had done this with an action handler, as per the example on the wiki contributions page.

If you do want see the task not before that specific date, use a state with a timer that transitions to the task if the timer is fired I guess the processvariable approach is the way to go, I was wondering if there was something built in that I missed i.e. task to start no earlier than and finish no later than, or a task duration. This would be useful for assigning actors based on existing task assignments. P.S. Is there any interest in an iCalendar wrapper such as I've described?
