Automatic start date/due date based on start date, due date, or duration
in progress

A lot of my tasks I know the start date and how long they will take (for example construction/shipping items). Right now I have to set a start date and then calculate the date the task will finish, instead of saying start on x day and go for 45 days.

Hey there 👋
I'm the new Product Manager for this area—great to meet you!
Quick update: the work is in progress and on track. This is one of our top priorities for the quarter. We're in development making several scheduling-related improvements to ensure that durations behave consistently across all views and ClickApps.
I'll keep you posted with any further updates.

Just posting to also requesting this feature - it'd be great to have and would greatly simplify day-to-day tasks

Hi. I am looking to use Click up to track time on tasks, and post that to the Calendar. Currently this means we have to set a start and due date, and then it 'smears' the calendar with that task all the way to the due date.
Problem is that these tasks are daily, recurrent and the due date is in reality, open ended. But you have to have them to see the time blocks appear on the calendar.
Support has suggested a workaround of making the start and due dates the same - but this means that:
1) with multiple tasks being tracked in a single day, the 'all day' portion of the calendar day will be crammed with meaningless 'all day' tasks in addition to the timed blocks appearing in the Day view.
2) I haven't tried this yet, but I am guessing if I then go in and modify the next day for those tasks, the previous days work will be disappeared - voiding what I am trying to accomplish: a history of my 'time on task'
3) This will quickly become a daily grind for no good reason: Manually editing each recurring task EVERY DAY.
FEATURE REQUEST:
Make a class of tasks that can be time tracked, and placed on the calendar with NO start or END dates. No filling of the 'all day' portion of the calendar, but do place them according to the start and end TIMES on the days they are tracked - including multiple start/end sessions within the same day.

I'd like to motivate the ClickUp team to implement this feature as soon as possible! It is one of the basic functions of successful project management.
I manage various projects, each of which requires specific tasks to be completed X days before the reference date, starting from a different project reference date.
I would be happy to make myself available as an SS tester.

Juan Grandas thanks for working on this feature and your updates.
How were the beta tests? Are there any outstanding issues that would delay publication a bit? We have some managers in our company who don't like ClickUp because they had it in the previous tools and now always have to manually enter all start and due dates for their large projects. It would be important: 1. You set dependencies between tasks. 2. Determine the duration of the task and 3. if a project start date has been set, the project must be planned automatically. This makes it much easier for managers to work on large projects.

Juan Grandas Last we heard from you, back in Aug 2024, you stated "This is one of our top priorities for the quarter." We are now into Q1, 25... what is the current status?

is this close to being done? this is the most needed feature for click up to be competitive with other project management tools

Will this allow Parent/subtask date relationship? If I rechedule a subtask, the date in the parent task will be changed accordingly? “When the end date of a child task changes, update the end date of the parent task.”

Urgently need the ability to change the default TIME for the due date. why is 4am default?? seems like a very odd time. would love to be 11:59pm instead.
