Calculate Due Date based on dependencies
future
Linnea Deeds
There have been nice updates on due dates, but I'd like to be able to set them and automatically update them by dependency. For example, once Task 1 occurs, Task 2 is due within 48 business hours.
So, when I mark Task 1 complete, I'd like the due date on Task 2 to update to 48 business hours later. This allows the template to automatically update.

This would be a game changer for physical product development and supply chain projects. We manage timelines with dozens of dependent milestones (artwork approval → PO release → production → delivery → launch), and if one upstream date slips, every downstream task has to be updated manually.
I'd love the ability to define dependencies with configurable offsets (e.g., "Production starts 8 weeks after PO release") so that when a predecessor date changes, all successor dates automatically recalculate. This is standard functionality in traditional project scheduling tools and would make ClickUp much more powerful for managing complex project timelines.

This is a HUGE miss by clickup. This is an essential for ANY scheduling platform. It's the core functionality of MS Project. This is a major obstacle in convincing my company to move forward with Clickup. 100's of projects cannot be maintained manually.

A basic but critical function of Project Management is to be able to reschedule multiple tasks that are dependent on completion on a parent task that has slipped its original due date. It is at minimum onerous but at worse untenable to change dates individually for child tasks especially if you are running multiple concurrent projects with numerous tasks

I agree. I want to be able to set durations and dependencies to a list, hit a button, and watch my tasks all fall in line where they should be. This feature would be immensely valuable to my work!

Colin Esplin: Cannot agree more that it would be immensely valuable. We are working towards that future.
