Instead of defaulting to use system-generated created/active date and date done/completed, be able to specify date custom fields to use for the calculation.

Use Case:

I think the issue is the same as the core feature request here on this thread. There are use cases in our workflow where people start working on a task but don't update the task on time or complete a task but don't update it in time. This makes the date created, start date and date done data not accurate for reports.

So while ClickUp reports does automatically account for date created, start date and date done fields, the main issue is that I can't trust the data if I am unable to fix/edit dates on an as need basis.

An alternative solution would be to allow for custom field dates to be used in reporting. My workaround right now is to create a custom field date that is editable for date created, start dates and done dates so I can fix errors when I need to, however, my own custom field dates cannot be used in clickup reports, so I have to resort to export the data to another reporting tool to get accurate reporting.

Hope this helps, happy to clarify anything if needed.
