Change start date dinamically

[Davide Cascapera]

Hi Team,

we are trying to use Plans to schedule our work. Actually we are talking about more than 30 epic related to a single Initiative that have more than 10 storyes each one etcc.. (in total more than thousand issues) in a period that during 4 moths. After the first planning, imagine we have to insert a new activity with the higest priority, that postpone all the 30 epics e.g. by one week... We tried to use the auto schedule but, dosent works as aspected and has some limitations. Do you have any suggestion to make this works in bulk, or some work aorund?

Hello @Davide Cascapera 

I wrote an article about updating starting and ending dates of dependent tasks, based on a predecessor task end date changing, using Automation Rules. There are limitations on what this can handle, though, so it may not be adequate for your use case, but it might give you some ideas.

thanks Trudy for your feedback

I'm looking forward to hearing back from you if this solution works for your use case or if you run into automation service limits.

Have you found any solution? Does Atlassian plan to develop that feature?
