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

in progress

Mohammed Khalil

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.

Any update about this feature?

Does this feature request include advanced formulas to calculate due dates instead of just date picker? For example right now i have to use my advanced formula to come up with the due date, then manually select that date into the due date field. I'd like to just put my formula in the due date field and it will automatically figure out and update based on any changes in the formula.

Aimee S Have you found a workaround for this at all?

I have a similar thing - formula date field and that's my 'due date', I'm trying to send auto email reminders (to externals not on the platform) based on a due date (i.e. Reminder: you need to collect X/Y/Z by tomorrow or it gets sent back, or Collection overdue: if we have not heard from you by XX then we will return your item by YY).

Emily Walker Not yet, they told me they are going to try and figure out if a Zap will work to update the standard Due Date field to match the custom Formula Due Date field, but they haven't got back with me yet. If a zap works I'll let you know. For me that's going to be a lot of zaps if it does work, i have almost 400 tasks in each space, and we duplicate the space each week for each new project.

Juan Grandas Are there any updates on this critical feature?

The support and product teams are very slow and are trying to compete with platforms that are better in various aspects.

Its Taking too long to implement this!

I sent just sent a separate request for this, but would also like to be able to add a holiday to the calendar so that when the app calculates the end date, it takes all weekends, general holidays, and company holidays into consideration. I currently use Zoho Projects. It has the ability to calculate end dates based on start date and duration, but it also allows you to add holidays to the calendar. https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/bugtracker/settings/portal-configuration/articles/date-time-settings-4-1-2021#Date_Format

Will this include in "Get Time Entries" API response work date? The date for which Clickup User entered time entry as right now only based on API response it is not possible to tell for which day user has entered his hours

Amar Mahadik

Juan Grandas--- Hi Juan, Please advise whether do you have any updates on this?

Auto-populating due dates with the help of capturing number of days from duration column. excluding weekends, or considering only workdays.

I have to say, this is such a basic feature and the fact that ClickUp doesn't have it, despite the project manager stating that it's a priority for Q2 or Q3... with thousands of users wanting it since... 2020(!?!?!) . . . I think at this point the lack of response from ClickUp has me deciding to throw my money at Asana.
