Enable Static Project Start Date (e.g. List Start Date) for Formulas, Automations & AI
There is currently no reliable way to define a fixed “Project Start Date” in ClickUp that can be used as a reference point for formulas, automations, and AI. This is a core gap in project planning. We can't calculate project-specific week numbers for tasks (e.g. "This is Week 3 of the project"). The existing “Week” value in Calendar or Gantt views is based on the week of the year, which is not useful for internal project timelines that start at different times. We can’t configure task start/end dates relative to a project start point (e.g. "Start this task 10 days after project kickoff" or "Trigger 3 days before project end"). This is essential for automating templates and milestone plans. Right now, we’re forced to use hacky automations, patchy formulas, or manual date input — which defeats the purpose of having a project management platform. Even recent improvements like calculating end dates from duration are partial fixes that still don’t solve the root problem. Please give us a static project reference date — ideally using the List Start Date — that is: Globally accessible in formulas Usable in automations and templates Referenceable by AI agents Able to drive dynamic date logic across tasks This is Project Management 101 — every professional PM tool anchors schedules to a static start or end date. This one change would unlock powerful planning capabilities, simplify templates, and reduce manual overhead.
