The execution of the “1 month before Date Arrives” rule for dates like 31 July, 29/30/31 March can be a bit tricky due to the varying number of days in different months. Here’s how it typically works:

31 July: Since not all months have 31 days, “1 month before” would adjust to the last day of the previous month that actually exists. For example, “1 month before 31 July” would be 30 June.

29/30/31 March: Given that February has 28 days (or 29 in a leap year), “1 month before 31 March” would be adjusted to 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year). For “1 month before 30 March”, it would be 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year). For “1 month before 29 March”, it would again be 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year).

This adjustment ensures that the rule is applied logically even when the specific date doesn’t exist in the preceding month.

Hello @martin_w,
For notification or task schedules set to “1 month before Date Arrives,” the execution timing for dates like 31 July or 29/30/31 March can be tricky due to varying month lengths. Here’s the general approach: florida flex login

31 July: The notification would typically trigger on 30 June since June has only 30 days.

29/30/31 March: The notification would usually trigger on 28 February (or 29 February in a leap year), as February has 28 or 29 days.

The system usually adapts to account for these variations by selecting the closest available date within the previous month. Does this help clarify your concern?
