Hi Folks,

hopefully someone can light me up with this:

- Used Zammad version: 5.0.3
- Used Zammad installation type: (source, package, docker-compose, …) ?
- Operating system: macOS
- Browser + version: Brave v. 1.36.112

### Expected behavior:

- When defining a workflow I expect that a custom field (object) of the type date ist available for conditions.

### Actual behavior:

- A custom field (object) of the type date ist only available for actions not for conditions.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior:

- Set up a custom object of the type date and try to select it as part of any condition for a workflow.

Best,  
JL

Maybe @rolfschmidt can tell us if this wasn’t specified (aka not a requirement) or if this is a bug.

Currently there is no date/datetime support for core workflow. It was not part of the specification because it would have blown up the effort. This is a feature/enhancement request. Hopefully we can support this any time soon.

By now I can select datetime and date attributes with the usual date based condition selectors. I can’t tell exactly when it came, I’ma guess at some where between 5.2 to 6.0.
