Task promotion on Start Date in My Tasks 2.0?

[Chandler_Ferguson]

Hi all, I tried searching the forum for a solution here, but didn’t come across one. Please merge if one already exists.

I just went to look for a task in my My Tasks that I knew had a start date of Aug 1 and due date of Sept 1 so I was expecting to see it moved into my “Needs sorted” section where tasks that are due today are moved. When I did not see it, I realized it was for that reason, it wasn’t actually due today. However, my start date was set for a reason and I was ready to get started on it today and hoping to set a new rule based on the start date.

Unless I am blatantly missing something (which is possible), I am not seeing this option. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Chandler_Ferguson,

Here is the thread for this request:

Offer (for Premium and above) a new rule "Start/Due date is approaching . . ." to trigger based on the earlier of Start date or Due date

The new My Tasks v2 rule “Due date is approaching → Move task to a certain section” only triggers based on the Due date, not the Start date if one is present. Please add (for Premium and above–that is, wherever Start date is available) a new rule: “Start/Due date is approaching → Move task to a certain section” and consider the Start date, if present, as the date to consider for this rule to fire, otherwise, the Due date if no Start date is present. I believe most will want this behavior and f…

Th only solution I’m aware of is to use our Flowsana integration - it has a rule condition that can be triggered based on Start Date.
