I have created a task to do our monthly billing. I both start and complete that task on the first of each month. There are a few prep items I need to do a few days before the end of the month, so that I can be ready to go on the first. Those involve reaching out to vendors, etc. Currently, I have a …

Hi @Chris_Guimbellot ! I have a suggestion for you, but I suggest you’re looking for a more complex answer. Please do guide me if you’re looking for more detailed solutions. First could you clarify what you’re trying to accomplish by making this change? What “pain” are you feeling with your existing…

I think this example you gave will work initially. The problem comes when @Chris_Guimbellot completes the main task. I would assume that the two subtasks will still have the same due date. Recreating the same example, I now have this after completion: [image] Then, a new task was created: [imag…

Thanks so much for the help. The issue that I have is that when I complete the main task, it regenerates the subtasks, but for dates in the past. How I would like it to work is this: Month 1: Monthly Billing - Due March 1 Billing Prep - Due February 27 Month 2: Monthly Billing - Due April 1 B…

Ooh @Todd_Cavanaugh you’ve peaked my interest with your theory! This sounds like a great topic for a new thread. If you’re willing to share your thoughts in a new thread, I think you’d spark an engaging conversation. :slight_smile:

@Alexis , your wish is my command! To Subtask or not to Subtask

Hi @Chris_Guimbellot how did you go seperating the tasks out? I had the same issue and ended up doing it slightly different which I documented here → Expense Reimbursement Would be interested to know how you cover the dependancies between the steps and knowing if the previous step is done.
