Yes! that would work!

If we just updated the logic here to include when the field is set (so set or updated would trigger it), would that suffice for what you're looking for?

Zach yes AND Due date is set. (Ideally - all time dates including Custom Field dates would be included in this, too, but start/due date being set is a good place to start)

Looking for a solution for "When due date is set, change status to x". We have a lot of "parking lot" content topics as tasks so when we want to post a new blog, we pull a topic from "parking lot" to the active calendar. When we do that, we set a date and would like the status to be changed to "topic assigned".

Thought this would be in here when we started using clickup at the beginning of this year. So surprised it was not a thing already.

I would like this if it triggered an action (reminder, for example)

Deb Bernard: you can set this up in the notifications settings
Zach
Marine Sire would this trigger work for your use case?

Zach: It doesn't work for me since we set the start date when we create the task, sometimes months in advance. I need a start date trigger that triggers x time/days before the set start date. Even if I had a custom field that triggered on the date but nothing triggers on or before date so can't do that. Use case for me we have campaigns. Sometimes a campaign runs for a week somethings for a year or anything in between. Different parts of the campaign go live at different points during that time. Would be great to use date automations to move subtasks to different status ie future status moves to prep status 2 days before start date etc. No way to do that currently.

Jennifer Hall: Got it. That will be handled here: https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/dynamicrelative-dates-for-automations-ex-7-days-before-due-date-on-each-monday-a
