Auto-populate due dates based on List due date (if you have times estimated)

Sophia Kaminski

Can you set taks due dates based on the completion date of what you want the project to be?

Aka - project is to be completed 12/31/18 - I want the task A to be completed 6 weeks before the due date, then task b 4 weeks, task c 2 weeks. So when you add that list of tasks to the project, it auto populates?

This would be really useful! 
I use ClickUp for accredited education. There are tasks that need to happen a certain number of days before the activity and tasks that need to occur a certain number of days after the activity. I'd like to be able to set a start date and/or due date on the list for the date the activity will occur and then have each of my tasks automatically assign a due date the appropriate number of days before or after the activity has occurred.
Right now, the best way I've found to set my due dates is to do them in bulk -- all the pre-60, 30, 14, 7 day, and then all the post-7, 30, etc.

Beth Banner: This is exactly what I need. Very disappointed this isn't an option. Most tasks in a corporate environment work like this.

Currently the List date is completely independent of any Task due dates. Even without task estimations, it would be good to have the option to remap Task dates according to List date. 
Our use case: tasks relating to a music release in a List. When we create a new release from template we can set it to remap task dates according to the release date. And if we change due date of a task within the list, subtasks due dates will be remapped. 
However, if the release date changes, there is no way to bulk change all the due dates, short of starting again with a new instance of the template (but would then lose all current state of tasks) - right?

This would be AMAZING and extremely helpful! PLEASE build this :)

this bulk action would be very useful for us when planning and mapping tasks on the gantt view as well

We would like this as well. We use a list for the actual deliverable - like a blog article - and set the list due date to the article publish date. All of our tasks to get that article out on time happen well before the actual publish date.
