Auto Filling Due Dates on Checklist Items based on Project Due Date

[CJ Gormley]

Is there a way to autofill the individual due dates for each checklist items based on the overall project due date?

For example, I have checklist items that are always due 2, 3 and 4 weeks before the project due date, is there a way for those dates to autofill once the Project Due Date is input? Or does each checklist item due date have to be entered manually?

Hi @CJ Gormley 

Not easily and to be honest it was part of my inspiration behind creating this article:

Take a look and see whether creating a parent/child approach will fit for you and unlock additional capability.  If you have any questions just @ me on here and I will try to answer promptly

Kind Regards,

Thank you, Mike!

Based on your article, I'm thinking what I'm trying to do just isn't one of the capabilities of Trello. Even on some of the videos they posted on their YouTube channel, they show themselves manually adding due dates to each individual checklist item. So I'm thinking that may be what we have to do!

Oh well! Thank you so much for your help!
