This is the answer I got from the built in AI tool when I asked for “rule to adjust all tasks in a project when the start date of the the project changes”
*Unfortunately, this type of rule isn’t currently supported through Asana’s automation system. Asana doesn’t have a built-in trigger for “project start date changes” or an action to automatically shift all task dates proportionally.

My use case is in project portfolio management, and I would like to be able to move projects around in a portfolio timeline view to balance workloads, etc.
It seems like a missing feature that would be very helpful and make the use of project portfolios even more useful
I did not see a feature request for this to add my vote to, so I figured I would post this. Admins, if this is a dupe, please merge as appropriate.
I did find posts suggesting Flowsana could support this use case, but that is not really an option for us given pp pricing and the size of our organization.
Hi @Mike_Hoefer , I feel this might be a duplicate of the below linked thread, but you mention that you want to move projects in the portfolio’s timeline… so is the expectation when you do that to auto adjust the due dates of tasks within the project? Or the other way around? i.e. if tasks due dates in the project change, then reflect that in the priject due dates displayed in the portfolio?
It seems that in the current architecture/data model, there is no real relation between Project Start/End and the Start/End Dates of the items within.
They are the same in that
The OP is asking for “dynamic” project start/end dates based on the start/end dates of the task within.
I am looking for “dynamic” task start/end dates that move with the start/end of the project
While settings in a project template allow you to set the due date for Milestone 1 to 14 days after the Project Start Date. Once the project is created from the template, that relationship is lost, and Milestone 1 is fixed based on the project’s original start date, not the revised start date.
