+1 for this feature!
I think it’s one of the most important missing feature in our workflow. I have a to set due dates manually for plenty of subtasks on a regular basis.
Also, the fact that recurring tasks (set on repeat, on a weekly basis for example) containing multiple subtasks don’t allow to push the subtasks due dates to +1 week is very annoying, that’s the reason why I have to always manually schedule the subtask’s due dates.
Very needed feature @Rebecca_McGrath ! 
Hey @Phil_Seeman,
Looking at testing this workaround. I’m not seeing the “Add subtasks from a template” rule action in Flowsana. Would you share how we might access that feature?
Another team that needs this feature. We schedule events and meetings based on our client’s needs, and then there’s a set of tasks that are defined in our contract as “four weeks before” “two weeks before,” “one week after” “two weeks after.” This is a very very common way of doing business and it would be a widely used feature to be able to have a task template that you can use in this way. I was incredulous when I realized it didn’t exist, honestly. That’s the kind of thing where you expect an expensive product management tool to be better than the Excel spreasheet you’ve been using previously.
Another +1 for this feature! Being able to add deadlines to subtasks, regardless of the overarching start or end date of the main task would really be ideal! Hopefully this request is getting the attention it needs as it would be an amazing feature of Asana 
100% need this feature.
If you create a subtask the due date of the top level task is automatically adjusted to include the subtask range. For example, if my task has a due date of 9/2 and I set a subtask with a due date of 11/1, the due date of the task changes from 9/2 to 11/1.
This is indeed not a thing (yet?), subtasks and parent tasks are never related in terms of completion and dates. In my case, I would not want to have that feature 
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, @Emma_Berry! We already have a thread on this topic, so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with Connect the due dates of subtasks to the due date of their parent task to consolidate feedback!
If a project’s due date shifts back/out (say shifts out by one week), would like to have the option to auto-adjust subtasks due dates to accomodate the new timelines
Due date shifting based on project dates is indeed not available, even less for subtasks that don’t technically belong to the project.
Hi! I see this thread started 5 years ago and having subtask due dates dynamically is still not a feature. Does Asana ever plan to implement this. If so, may I ask why not? This would be extremely beneficial for my content planning.
It’s very useful for me to plan out blog content and refer to the calendar view to see which blogs will be published on which dates, with each blog being its own task and all the things needed to get done to make that blog in the task as subtasks. If I have each task needed to make one blog as a full task, then my calendar view will be super stuffed up. What is your suggestion here for a workaround since Asana doesn’t seem to want to make this feature?
Huge +1 this is a very important feature for us
Hi Emily!
5 yrs on, how might we elicit some feedback or confirmation that this feature will ever make the roadmap please? I am on the same boat as many others here and would love to see this request come to fruition.
@Thio Asana is not sharing their roadmap, like 99% of their competitors. They do read the forum, take into account votes and bring the topic up to product meetings
+1 from me! This would definitely be useful for content management templates!
This is a basic project management feature with Gantt charts. Asana, at least give your users the option of how they want the subtasks to behave (traditional vs asana way). this has gone unaddressed for 5 years. Product managers, LISTEN TO YOU CUSTOMERS. we are literally telling you how to delight us…
I need to base subtask due dates off of parent task due date.
Each week we do a podcast. We plan them a quarter at a time. All tasks are made at the same time and due throughout the next quarter. I cannot keep changing all the subtask due dates. It’ all repetitive:
task 1 needs done 2 weeks before, task 2 needs done 10 days before parent task due date…
So I am now looking at other systems 
This would be extremely helpful with our campaigns that have multiple parts. We utilize sections, parent tasks and subtasks to break our work down into manageable parts. Having to manually move subtask dates as well as parent task dates is a bother and takes up 10 percent of all project coordination. It’s enough of a headache that my team is starting to look at other software options and I was really hoping to remain with Asana. It really seems like the subtask level of Asana has been disregarded for years.
Hi all, I have been going crazy trying out different solutions that could help us achieve this same feature. I have been looking into using dependencies within a task template but I can’t ever get the auto-shift to work. Same premise applies: I have one task that has multiple subtasks. I would like it so that when the parent task shifts by x number of days, the multiple subtasks also shift by that same number of days.
Did Asana really never figure out how to automate shifting due dates when this is the vane of any project manager’s existence? Please tell me I’m missing something!
