I am trying to add the due dates for each checklist in a card automatically based on the card start/end dates but could not find a way to do that.

@Mike - Dreamsuite Consulting ‘s idea is quite interesting

I have just converted an older implementation to adjust checklist item due dates ..en masse and made it into an app https://deta.space/discovery/@milynnus/taco_bump

it addresses cases.

I'm not sure if this will work for you, its a very simple example:

* Create a custom date field
* Automation: "When card due date is set, set the Date custom field to {cardduedate}"
* Automation: "When an item containing 📅{* } is added to checklist Tasks, set the item due on date in custom field "Date" minus {wildcard1} days

This could be enhanced to pull in pre-configured checklists

Personally I would probably go down the route of converting the checklist items into linked cards, which opens up a lot more flexibility
