Automatically setting the start date?
Hi there,
I'm wondering if it's possible to automatically set the Start date when adding a new task to that current date, when you add it? This would be really handy for me, especially for my "waiting on" context, so that I can see how long I've been waiting for something. If there's not currently an option for it, does anyone know of a script that would do something similar? Thanks so much for your help, Cat |
It seems that what you really want to know is when a task was [I]created[/I], which is automatically added to new tasks. To see the date that an action was created, just select it and open the inspector (Click "Inspect" in the toolbar, or Inspectors-->Show Inspectors"). Date "Added" is automatically shown.
Hopefully that helps solve your issue since the "Start" field is really to be used for actions that [B]can't[/B] begin before a certain date, so that the action is effectively "hidden" until the start date arrives, and therefore doesn't clutter up your list of actions that are currently actionable. |
Thanks for your reply.
Hmm, this sounds like quite a time consuming way to find out when a task is added - is there a way to display date created in a similar way that the start appears next to the task? It may not be entirely the way the Start is suppose to be used but I find it really useful. |
Actually, this may be an easier option. Is there away to make the Start Date field appear on Quick Entry (it already had the Due Date)?
|
Yes. Open the Quick Entry window. Click on the gear menu at bottom left, and select the columns you want. Click the Save button.
|
Fantastic! Thank you so much - this is going to save me so much time.

There's a script that might also be useful to you called "Complete and Await Reply" which you can download at [url]http://www.curtclifton.net/projects/[/url]
