[Status: Not planned] Request forms - start date

This would be helpful for our team as well. The nature of our work and projects is such that the initial task is a PM task - this needs to occur ASAP, and it the PM's job to determine the cadence for the remainder of tasks in order to meet SLAs. Asking the requestor to enter today's date feels unnecessary - and we're trying to make it as simple as possible so they don't go around our processes. A few extra clicks make a big difference! 

Thanks a lot for supporting this suggestion and sharing your use case Laura Walz 🤗

Hi Lisa!

Our team would also benefit from an automated way to have "today" as the task start date. I suppose this might be doable now if we each set it up with the Automation Engine?

In addition, this idea has 74 votes now 😎, would it be possible to have a Product Status added?

Hi Soraya Jung, hope you don't mind me jumping in for Lisa. I've tested this and it would work though I think you have to mind couple of things. The condition would be always for the number of "next days" specified and the action required should be specified. I hope I've understood your question here correctly, if not please feel free to clarify.

I'm checking with the Product team for an update to assign a status here, thank you for all your support👍🏼

Can we have an option to set a default value (today) for a date field question in request form? It will be very helpful.

Our team would love for the option to set start date as the date of submission as well. Is there any update from the team or is this on the product roadmap?

Welcome to the Community, Jack Carlson 👋

This isn't on the roadmap currently, but I've just flagged this feedback with the team again 👍 As soon as we have an update from them, we'll make sure to let you know.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

This feature would be really helpful. 

This would be a helpful feature – having to enter today's date as the Start Date creates an additional step for our end-users who are submitting request forms. An option to default Start Date to TODAY would come in handy, so those filling out the request form do not have to enter unnecessary information.

Thanks a lot for supporting this idea here, everyone! We continue passing your feedback to our team and though this suggestion isn't planned at the moment, we will let you know if there are any changes.

It's kinda odd that selecting a start date sets the start & due date to the date selected, but selecting a due date just sets the due date. Please add "today as the start date" as a feature in request forms soon. 

Thank you for voicing your interest in this idea Jason DAquin, please rest assured that we will keep you informed in case there are any changes 👍

Would really love it if the creating of the form would set the first task due date to the date of form submission date.

I built a blue print that kicks off a project when the form is completed, and all have durations built out, if this one date could be populated automatically on form submission, then all the dates would flow through the all the project and tasks.

Noted, thanks for sharing Amy K Cooper. Although this is currently Not Planned, we will continue to pass on the feedback shared here with the team 👍 

Also, welcome to the Community! If there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask 🙂

To save our requesters a click, please have the date auto populate the start date to the date submitted!! 

Hi Meraka Moulton 👋 Thank you for sharing your suggestion! It has now been forwarded to the Product Team 👍

Looking for an update on this feature this seems insane that this automation can't exist? such a redundant thing. 

Hi Grace Davis 👋  thank you for posting your feedback. We understand that some of our users are looking for this functionality. Currently, we do not have any new updates for this year, but we will pass on your comment to the relevant team. If there are any developments in the coming months, we will be sure to let you know 👍
