Deferred Tasks Set to Become Active At a Specified Date

Hey, Elisabeth,

This isn't a feature.  Can you give a little more input on what you're trying to accomplish overall?  It'd be easier to give an appropriate work around with some more information. 

For instance, I have a custom workflow for ongoing tasks.  Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annually and As Needed.  Daily and weekly tasks aren't scheduled since they're always front and center, but anything farther out is what you can consider essentially deferred but until a date I schedule.  The status is actually as an active state, but I can still filter out and ignore these things that aren't within my 7 day or 30 day rolling windows.

This capability does require business or enterprise licenses.

This is a feature I was looking for too. Typically I have tasks which require me to reach an outside vendor and I need to wait for their response. So while I'm waiting, I move the task to "On Hold" and set the date to the point at which I want to check in on the vendor again. My work around is to create two widgets on my dashboard. "Active" and "On Hold", then periodically I check on the "On Hold" tasks and if they're past the set date then I reach out to the vendor again. It would be nice to have the task automatically move to a different status when the set date was hit.

Hi guys, thanks for sharing your feedback on this. Our team is always interested in automation ideas so I'm sure they'll find this interesting.

@Adam, thanks for sharing your approach to managing deferred tasks - others will definitely find this helpful.

I'm interested to see how others manage this now. Once I have more information about the request I'll be sure to update you here when and if I have more information 👍
