Automation "Due date is approaching" triggers at end of due date period

Hi,

I have an issue with the automation “Due date is approaching”, I have set a due date that has a start and end date.

How is this even possible? What can be done to avoid this?

Best,
Anja

Please add (for Premium and above–that is, wherever Start date is available) a new rule: “Start/Due date is approaching → Move task to a certain section” and consider the Start date, if present, as the date to consider for this rule to fire, otherwise, the Due date if no Start date is present. I believe most will want this behavior and f…
