Remap due dates when applying a Template via Automation
R
Renato Chu
We use a form to create new tasks and when it is created an automation applies a specific template depending on answers from the form.
But, the automation does not remap the start or due date of the template. It just apply a template and changes the original task to the template's dates.

+1 for this. We apply a TON of templates via automation and having to manually set due dates after automations is incredibly time consuming. We might be losing more time managing due dates than we're saving with the automations.

The lack of this feature is a huge time waster for my team. Hoping for a fix ASAP.

Remap subtask Due Dates when applying the template through automation
Brye Sargent
Currently, the remapping of the subtask dates when applying a template is only available when you manually apply a template. I would like to apply a template through automation, change the due date based on a custom field in the task, and then remap the due dates of all the subtasks. Just like when you change a due date, it asks you if you want to remap the fields. Can this be added as a step to the automation?
Or can we create templates that have a relative due date for subtasks instead of a fixed date? Like 2 weeks before the due date or 3 days after the due date.

Brye Sargent Thanks for your feedback! I'm merging your request to an existing feature request for "Automation applies template remapping due date.

Anecdotally, I had to put a lot of work into breaking down comprehensive templates into smaller, more manageable templates paired with automations as a workaround and that seems like not a good use of time

This feels less like a feature we should need to request and more like a bug that should be fixed.

Hey ClickUp Team,
Any update on this? We really need this feature as soon as possible.

Bumping this - this makes it impossible to create tasks from the calendar view because you'll click to create the task, then it will apply the template and remove the due date, thus disappearing from the calendar - would really appreciate a fix here!
This also applies to forms - we're unable to use forms to create templated tasks because it erases the due date value that was entered in the form - since we need to use templates, this essentially makes forms unusable
