On primary form you will need to set a variable for the due date that you can pass through:<br />

<br />
If you are doing a to-do task the due date maybe present and you can send it across in the email but if the user does not do anything by that date it will still sit there, you can use the assign task and have proper escalation and reminders when the due date is not met.

Thanks Tim, I'm pretty clear on all that you sent already. What I don't know how to do is target the task that was just created in the workflow and modify the date for it.

If I create a 'To-Do' task with a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows, I can only assign a title and description (<a href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Assign-a-to-do-item-in-a-workflow-229efac1-6978-49a2-84f0-d6854ecf930d" rel="ugc">see link</a>) to the task/to-do item. However the task also contains fields for due date, etc. I'd like to be able to set the due date of the task when it is first 'assigned' but I'm not sure how to do this?
