So you should be able to also specify something like #{x}ms (where x is a process variable containing the amount of ms, e.g. 10), or #{y} (where y is a process variable containing the entire expression, e.g. 10h).

I'll look at adding support for this: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-3298 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-3298 As a workaround for now, I think it should be possible to use timeDuration as described earlier, but then add some action script before that that would translate the generated date and time variable back into a duration variable.
