Journey Trigger for Future-Dated Parental Leave need to Support Negative Offsets for Pre-Start Tasks

Hello Oracle HCM Experts,

We have a customer requirement related to Journeys triggered from Absence (specifically Parental Leave).

When an absence is approved for a future date, we need the Journey to be triggered immediately upon approval — not on the actual start date of the absence.

The Journey contains certain tasks that must be available before the absence start date (for example, preparing handover, submitting documents, or attending pre-leave briefings).

Current Behavior:

• The Journey trigger works correctly once the absence is approved.
• However, the task offset and due date parameters in Journeys only accept positive values , meaning tasks can only be scheduled
