Use Date Created as Blueprint Start Date

Hi, Is there any way to map the date a request is created to the start date of a project Blueprint. Right now we have a field the requestors to enter today's date manually to use for mapping it's a bit confusing to submitters especially if we are collecting multiple types of dates for one project. Since the date created is something Wrike tracks automatically, is there any way to map it as the project start date? Thanks!

Hi @Meghan Sharer, this isn't currently possible, so I'll move your post to the Product Feedback forum and pass your feedback to the team 👍

DID THIS GET FIXED. IS THERE A WAY TO GET A BLUEPRINT TO HAVE THE START DATE BE THE DATE OF CREATION ?

Hi @Charlotte Harrill, welcome to the Community! In case you are referring to the option to set a start date for your project via submission of a request form, it would be necessary to map a response to define this value. If you are creating your item from a blueprint, you can select the option to reschedule it in step number 6 of the request form builder:

Please, let us know if you have any additional questions. Also, please allow me to mention that you can visit our New to Community forum to get the most out of your experience with our Community 🙂

Currently the only way to set the "Reschedule" is mapping the start or due date to a form response. It would be useful to have an additional option to Reschedule by setting the start date to "today" (i.e. the create date of the request).

Hi @Joan Prangnell, thank you for your comment, I can see how this option would be useful 👍 Please, rest assured that your feedback has been noted.

Totally agree with @Joan Prangnell. By setting an option to "Today", without requiring a field in the form for the requestor to fill out would be great!

How can you map the submission date to start date?

Pietro Poli

Hi @Megha Bagga, in form you need to add a date question.
Then you can assign response as a start date

and then setup in the left panel "Reschedule around"

What if it isn't being submitted via a form but instead a Workato automation?

Pietro Poli

Hi @Bethany Spaeth,
if you can use item creation date as start and/or due date.
During creating task you can setup dates.

@Pietro Poli it reassigns one task but the other dates to do not adjust based on the dependencies

Hi @Bethany Spaeth,
