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).

I’m pleased to inform you this is now a thing. :slight_smile: [image] Relative due dates in custom project templates Product Updates This is amazing news. I think everyone has been waiting a long time for this! I’m off to consolidate two onboarding projects (one for befor…

I am wondering whether this is on the horizon or the roadmap somewhere. We have projects which require 9% of the tasks before the due date, but then the following 10% as follow-up tasks PAST the due date. Currently in templates you can only select for the dates pre-populate before OR after a date,…

I’m guessing this would solve it: 📅 Relative project template dates (other than after start or before end)

When creating a project template, users currently have the option to choose between two due date models: “# of days after the project start date” or “# of days before the project due date.” I have a use case that doesn’t fit well into either due date model and requires more flexibility in setting r…

Yep, same issue for our organization! Like other commenters on this thread, we want to create an event planning project template with due dates relative to the date of the event, with the option to set some due dates before the event and some due dates after.

Example: Employee onboarding. Planning would happen relative to the start day of the new hire. Not choose between before or after.

You can use a formula field :slight_smile:

Hi there, I’m wondering if there’s a way to automate or set rules for due dates in subtasks within Templates to work backward? For instance, if I create a task from a template and manually set a due date for the task, say June 30th, is there a way for certain subtasks to automatically get due dates…

Hi @Gabriel_Maureen_Cri1 , thanks for reaching out! It’s currently not possible to add relative dates before the task is due in task templates. I’ve gone ahead and merge your post with Templates & due dates: having both "days before" and "days after" within the same project to consolidate feedback. W…

Hi Emily, appreciate your help on this. May I ask if the image that Mr. Bastien sent last April 2022 is not the version/feature available now? I can’t see the option to select “After/Before project start date” on my end. [image] [f90e650944edda1ef26c6648b3be1349855ba394_2_595x500] [Here's what I …
