Can Asana please add the ability to add in durations that automatically calculate due date based on duration + start date. Along with this all the dependency dates should automatically shift based on their blocked by. This should be a basic function. It takes me 3 times as long now go and manually do all of this and it isn’t feasible to pay for a third-party software. In the end if I put my very first task of the project should take 2 weeks start 10/31/22 then asana should calculate a due date of 11/14/22. Any items that are blocked by the completion of task one should update their dates based on this. If my first task has a delay and I change it to 3 weeks then the whole project should update. I really like Asana I just need this feature implemented. ---
