Auto update a task's start and end dates based on subtasks dates

[lpb]

@Nastya008,

Is this what you’re asking for:

Connect the due dates of subtasks to the due date of their parent task

Hey there. I am trying to set up a project in Asana to function as a workflow for a blog calendar. I set up a task that represents all the actions that have to happen for a blogpost to be published. I then set up subtasks (12) for all those actions, set up the appropriate dates and set up the dependencies as they need to be. My plan was to copy this Task for each blog post and adjust the date. However, when I change one date, the rest of the dependent dates do not adjust their time. Since I can…

If so, that’s in-development which means it’s likely expected soon.

Or this:

Auto update a task's start and end dates based on subtasks dates

I would like to have the start and end date of my task automatically updated with the earliest and latest dates provided in the sub-tasks for that task. I’m currently doing this manually.
