Hi! @Matt5

Could you try this post([How to link the due date of a specific task into a custom field of a portfolio - #17 by Tetsuo\_Kawakami](https://forum.asana.com/t/how-to-link-the-due-date-of-a-specific-task-into-a-custom-field-of-a-portfolio/906281/17)).  
function today() results your problem.  
today() runs everyday, so task history is added every day.

@Phil_Seeman  
Thanks for your exlpaination.
