I use the portfolio list view to check if there are any delays in the projects. I have a column with project due date and another one with “desired due date”.
The problem I face is that when I reschedule any task due date that affects to the project due date I have to remember to change the project due date manually.
I am wondering if there is any option/rule to link the project due date with the due date of the last task of the project.
Thanks
Oh I would love this feature!
Have moved your suggeston into the product feedback so people can vite for it and make it a feature.
Make sure you vote yourself @Manel_RodríguezC
I saw somewhere you can link the task date to the project dateline. Project Dateline Being D and we can have a D-1 or 2 etc.
May i know if this has been made available?
Hello,
That can be done in the template. My request was the other way arround, update the project due date automatically when delaying the tasks due dates.
Hello! I’m an event planner and we are using asana projects for our specific events. When we set up the project, the due date is the event date. We have a lot of tasks that need to be completed so many weeks in advance of our project due date/event date. I’m looking for a way to use a custom field that has options for a number of weeks (14 weeks out, 10 weeks out, etc.) so that when I select 14 weeks, it will automatically set the due date 14 weeks before the project due date. Is there a way to do this?
Hi, bumping for this feature. If I can set a task deadline relative to the project deadline, the task deadline should update when the project deadline updates.
Please implement.
Just a reminder in case you or anyone else isn’t aware:

Hi all 
I appreciate that manually updating the project’s due dates in a portfolio can be time consuming. That is why I have developed a custom code script with my team of developers that:
Scans through each project within a portfolio or multiple portfolios that you define
Finds the task with the earliest start date and the task with the latest due date within each project
Sets those two date values to each project’s date field within the portfolio(s)
Repeats the entire process every X hours, daily, weekly, or as per your requirements
I have already added this for numerous clients of mine, saving them tons of time each week.
If anyone’s interested, feel free to DM me by clicking on my profile photo and then click on message or visit my website.

It would be a very helpful feature if the project start and due date updated automatically in the Project details when task due dates change. We have a project that utilized dependencies to connect all tasks. If we need to change the date of one task, it impacts the overall due date of the entire project. If this change could be automatically reflected in the due date in the Project details, it would be great since those are the dates that are seen in the portfolio view and we use that view to plan workloads.
