Setting custom field date as a trigger for action

[Zachary Johnson]

I have seen old posts regarding this: I want to use a custom field "date" as a stand in for due dates to add a label/move to a list. However there is no "when custom field is DUE" option but rather only "when it is SET" which is not helpful because it only activates if I set it that week.

I See 3+ year old posts regarding this issue, has there been a feature added to assist with this?
