Due dates relative to dependencies in project templates

[David_Rogers1]

When creating a template, need to have the ability to tie due date to a dependent task/milestone. Can only tie to project start/end date in current functionality. Following PMBOK, we need to be able to set due dates X # of days before/after (lead/lag time) a dependent task/milestone.

Hi @David_Rogers1,

I tweaked the title of your post a bit to make it clearer, hope that’s OK.

While it’s not exactly the same, you might want to look at this related forum thread:

Templates & due dates: having both "days before" and "days after" within the same project

It would be great to have the option to add tasks to the new project template, which are partially due before the project due date and others after (e.g., -28 days for one task and +5 days for another task).

FYI you might want to also check out the Dynamic Duration workflow in our Flowsana integration, which can handle this type of dependency in a project template.
