Can we make an automation to automatically add End date of Task1 as the Start date of Task2 ?

Considering these two tasks are linked and mapped.

Hi @Shubham Saini 

Like this :

I have a scenario in our timeline where two stories, T1 and T2, are linked. Specifically, T2 can only start once T1 is complete. To streamline this, I would like to create a global rule that automatically sets the start date of T2 to match the due date of T1.

Could you help me set up this rule, or let me know if there's a way to implement it in our current system?

yes , you have to swap the due date and start date parameters in the above screenshot and also update to the appropriate link type matching your system. 

BTW, Why should this be a global rule? Does this process apply to all the projects in your site?

Hello @Shubham Saini 

When do you want the Start date of Task 2 to be changed?

1. When Task 2 is created.

2. When Task 2 is linked to Task 1.

3. When the End date on Task 1 changes?

I wrote an article about updating dates in dependent tasks. You might find it helpful.

When the End date on Task 1 changes?

Did you review the article I wrote? Does that solution meet your needs?

Hello, 

you can try something like that:

Each time the "due date" (or end date) value is updated on an issue, it will get all the tasks linked with the right link type and update their "Start date" by copying trigger issue "Due date".
