  I am attempting to set up a timeline for a set of case types. I made a sequence for a few activities. However, the scheduled date automatically sets to the current day. How do I get it so that when an activity is added due to a sequence, its date is set based off an offset value?

  Sequences are different than timelines and don't have offsets. See <https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/case-management/set-up/#define-case-types> and go down to step 5.
