Date shifting on sections

Sections can now be duplicated, which is awesome!
If an existing section could be date-shifted, just like when duplicating, this would be fantastic as well. (Using Timeline to shift a whole group of dates is the typical way to do this, but it doesn’t always work since when a project has a large number of tasks and sections, Timeline can be slow to load, or never fully load at all.)

I agree this would be nice.

In the meantime, one workaround you could use would be to set up a dependency chain of all the tasks in the section, and then use the “Update dates for dependent tasks” feature to have them all shift.

It’s not ideal if dependencies don’t actually exist between the tasks, though.

Thank you @Brian_Fewell ! For me, the situation happens rarely enough and in varied enough circumstances that this solution would be overkill, but it’s good to know it exists.
