hello, your robot told me to upvote this because I would like to be able to automictically set subtasks to be do within a certain number of dates of the parent task. But this says it is complete...is it? if so, how do you use it?

Hello!! I see this is marked complete! Can you link the documentation for this feature. Thanks!

When will this feature be enabled for automations? We use forms to create tasks and I would love to create a specific time period for the task to be completed in based on a custom field date from the form. (ie. Trigger: Task is created. Action: Change Due date to X days after a Field from the trigger. This would be helpful for when an employee starts and my team tracks the delivery of their onboarding paperwork)

Bugra Oktay There are several things we need in the project management space, desperately. They are complete basics to project management. I am scared to add anything else here because it seems like these critical items that we need are still years away, even though some of them are in the 'planned' queue. Reach out directly anytime if you would like more detailed feedback on this.

I’m using the new Duration field feature and have encountered a bug when interacting with it in Gantt View.

When I set a duration for a task without specifying a Start or Due Date, and then click on a date in the Gantt chart to place the task, the duration is automatically changed to 5 days, overriding the value I initially set.

Example Scenario:

• I create a task and set the duration to 10 days.

• Without defining a Start or Due Date, I click on the intended start date in the Gantt chart.

• The system consistently resets the duration to 5 days, ignoring the 10-day value.

Additionally, when planning a task directly in the Gantt chart by clicking and dragging, the task is always created with a 5-day duration, even if a different default duration has been configured. This indicates that the system is not respecting the predefined duration during this type of interaction.

Expected Behavior:

In other project management tools, when a user configures a duration first and then places a task on the Gantt chart, the system uses the defined duration to determine the visual block. Given that ClickUp supports one-click task creation using default values, it would be reasonable to expect the system to honor the predefined duration as part of that flow.

I was looking forward to use this for automations like:

When date is 2 weeks before Start Date - Create a task

My problem is that if the creation date is under 2 weeks, those tasks are never created.

It would have been useful to have a trigger like:

When date is at least 2 weeks before Start Date

That automatically triggers if start date - task creation date under 2 weeks

Fantastic, 5 years of waiting for this feature request is finally over, well done!

The last request I am waiting for is this one

Thanks for getting this feature live!

One immediate thing that jumps out to me is that it is based on calendar dates instead of working days.

I would love if this was an option. In the latter situation, if something was originally scheduled from Monday to Friday and is pushed back two days, the new dates would be Wednesday to Tuesday instead of Wednesday to Sunday.

I imagine this being an account-wide ClickApp setting for the Duration feature.

Bugra Oktay Wohoo! Works perfect, much needed feature! Thanks!

Bugra Oktay This is great news, thank you! Can't wait to try it out.
