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.

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?

Julia Shaw

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.

Any update about this feature?

Aimee S

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).

Aimee S

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.

Is there any update on this?
ETA??????????
Else, can you provide some other solution at the moment using APIs or something???

Any updates on this?

Dhruv

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.

Juan Grandas

Hi Dhruv,
Thanks for your patience. We've completed development and are now beta testing with select customers to ensure everything works seamlessly across ClickUp, including dependencies, non-working days, and all views.
The new duration field will automatically calculate start dates, due dates, or durations when you input any two values. This functionality, along with improved scheduling logic, will roll out platform-wide once testing confirms its reliability.
We'll share updates as we expand the beta program.

Julia Shaw

Juan Grandas any update on progress rolling this out? i saw there was a new update, but it did not include this critical feature.

Joao Bellia

Its Taking too long to implement this!
