Why does the start date not automatically populate when I add a new card.

Hi @Brian Houle ,

You can build automation to do this > see Automate anything in Trello ⚡

It can be a fairly simple one, such as:

  • when a card is added to the board by anyone
  • set start date now

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
