Relative Dates for Task Bundles [July 6, 2026]

Written by Asia Ali

You can now define a start day and duration for each task right inside a bundle. Apply that bundle to a project, and every task gets the correct dates automatically — no more opening each task one by one to schedule it.

Users can set a schedule directly in the Build Bundle tab when configuring task bundles, available in both the Add Task and Edit Task flows. Under the new Timeline section, set:

  1. Start Day — relative to the project. Day 1 is always the project's start date.

  2. Duration — how many working days the task runs.

All dates are calculated in working days from the project start date, so weekends are never counted toward a task's schedule.

Once a task has a Start Day and Duration set, its scheduled range will show in the new Timeline column on the bundle's task list — for example, "Day 1 – Day 3, 3d."

Start Day and Duration must be set together, or left empty. Tasks without values will remain unchanged and be imported without dates.

Applying a Bundle

When you import a Task Bundle into a project, you'll choose the bundle as you always have.

If any tasks in that bundle have a Start Day and Duration set, you'll see a preview showing the exact calculated dates for each task, based on your project's start date, before anything is added.

From here, you can:

  • Click Add Tasks to Project to add the tasks with those dates applied, or

  • Click Select Another Bundle to choose a different bundle instead.

If no tasks in the bundle have a Start Day and Duration set, the bundle will apply exactly as it always has — no change to that flow.

This feature allows you to:

  • Schedule every task in a bundle once, instead of setting dates task-by-task after import.

  • Trust that dates always land on working days, with weekends automatically skipped.

  • Preview exact dates before committing them to a project, or back out and pick another bundle.

A few things to note:

  • The preview only appears when a bundle with a Start Day and Duration is applied to a project.

  • Once added, task dates are standard task dates — fully editable, with no ongoing link back to the bundle.

  • Tasks without a Start Day and Duration set will come into the project without dates, just as before.
