I've found lots of options for automating due dates, but I haven't found any for start dates. It would be very helpful to have the current date automatically added as a card's start date whenever I create a new card.
Most of my cards are workflow steps, quotes, screenshots, etc. that don't have a due date. If, for example, a workflow step changes, I replace the card with a new card. An auto datestamp for the new card/step would help tremendously.
Many of my projects are long-term and weave in and out of several years. Having a start date on each card would be a big help in sorting out the most recent cards. It's too time consuming--and a bit distracting --to enter the start date on each card manually.
