Hi! I’ve noticed that my “due dates” that are generated from templates don’t work how I want them to. In the template when I hover over “due date” it says “scheduled from project start date” However, when I go to create the new Project, the due dates are far more than 30 days before the project starts. Is it not counting weekends or something like that? I’m so confused

Welcome, @Sierra_Camille1,

In your project template when you click any due date you’ll see this dialog:

Click the pencil icon and that will show:

Use this dialog to set whether to skip weekends or not, and that should explain what’s going on.

Thanks,

Larry
