Subtracting StartDate from CurrentDate in Workflow

Hi,

In Survey Workflow, I’m trying to create a new variable via

Add task → Data formula → Calculated date fields → Relative date/Current date/time & Fixed value/Response/Start date

It keeps throwing the error "${rm://Field/StartDate} does not match format ISO 8601"

I’ve tried rm://Field/StartDate/c & went down  a convoluted pathway of saving StartDate into a different variable first to force ISO format before doing the calculation - this also didn’t work.

I’m simply creating a variable to determine how long it’s been since they started the survey and send an email reminder if its within a certain time-frame.

 

Thanks in advance,

Brendan
