Thanks to Eric Shulman's reply to jn.pierr.. question in "chaining jobs", I was able to fix the issue with the following changes:
\define button_actions() <$action-setfield $tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> due=<<next-date 10>> /> <$button actions=<<button_actions>>> Set Interval </$button> Now the only thing left to do is to figure out how to set the interval based on field values.
