Keep Single step task from completing until Dead Line date

[Rick Sample]

I tried to start the Task with the object method set as asynchronous.
Failed to start. 

I tried a zdummy terminating event in the Terminating Events. Didn't
matter. 
When I execute the task, it completes! 

I checked out the code in the Confirm to Complete FM. Way too much work
for a simple task. 
Looks like the simplest way is to create a WF with the task and loop
until terminating event or 
deadline reached. 

Any other ideas, fire away...

What about making it an asynchronous task and finding/creating a
terminating event to shut it down when the deadline is reached?

Hi Rick, 

I don't think you can do this without a workflow template of a writing
this logic in a custom method (which would amount to the some effort
anyway).  You are better off putting this standard task in a wf
template
where you will more options at your disposal. 

sorry if this is not answer you wanted. 

Edwin.

I have an standard task that has a Confirm on end. Started via 
SWW_WI_START. (I know, I need to change to API but not today)
This keeps the task in the inbox until the user completes or until the
Dead Line 
is reached and then terminates. 

Now, business does not like the Confirm on End pop-up. (Don't ask!) 
They want it to just stay in the inbox until the deadline date. The
user could execute 
the task several times and just not go away until dead line. 

I would rather not create a whole WF template just to loop. 
Anyone know of a way to achieve this in 4.6c?

Rick
