I am very frustrated at the fact that Asana allows you to build templates with the due date or start date as the dependency (i.e. tasks created 15 Days before due date or 15 days after start date), but it does not allow you to auto update the timeline and tasks, based on when you change the dates. Make that make sense to me?

We have this problem when planning future projects or if a project needs to be completely rescheduled after commencement. With the size of our projects, there is too much room for error with the team manually updating in timeline view.
Ideally, there would be an option to reset the start date in the same manner that a project template asks for a start date to set all tasks.
Another option that would help us is if the auto-shifting function could be triggered by a rule:
- If due date is changed on a task > auto-shift dependent tasks (maintaining buffer)
Would be good if auto-shift was accessible with API calls too.

How has this not been implemented? Changing relative dates automatically shouldn’t be difficult.

Following as this is extremely important when event planning…
Having to shift both is redundant, and therefore introduces both extra work and risk of error.
Voted!
As you need to choose between dates relative to project start OR project end it seems logical to implement this in tandem with: 📅 Multiple relative project template dates
