Automate Subtask Due Dates Based on Start Date
Hello, I am currently working on a project that requires subtask creation via automation, and I'm looking for a way to create a subtask with a due date generated relative to the parent task's due date. I can't seem to find a way to make this work right now - is there something I'm missing?
To help out, I'll describe the situation in a bit more detail. I work in a theater, and have built out a template that generates a set of subtasks with due dates relative to when a show loads in (from what I understand, you are currently unable to set relative subtask due dates based on a parent task's start date, so I'm having to use a workaround and am setting the parent task's "due date" as the start of the show, then things generate backwards from there. It's clunky, but it's been working fine. Would love to see this changed in the future). Once planning on my end is complete, I would like to be able to press a custom field button that will then generate a subtask with due dates relative to the parent task's due date. From there, I would assign those subtasks to individual employees (via automation) so that I can keep track of who's completed what, and who I'll need to check in on.
Is there any way to do this? I would appreciate any help.
EDIT: I don't know what I was thinking, the title should read "Automate Subtask Due Dates Relative To Parent Task Due Date". Welp, too late to change it now.
