Due Date Automation

[Josh Vossen]

I've been developing some automations but it seems as though Trello only works by adding days on from today's date, not retrospectively.

"when a start date is set on a card with the purple "Test" label by anyone, set due date in 182 days"

I would expect/was hoping it would add a Due Date based on the Start Date, not today's date.

Is this at all possible?

Sadly, this is a poor omission from the automation. I wish for this a lot too.  You can do it if you have custom fields, you have to have an intermediate custom field.

1. Start Date Set
2. Set custom field to {startdate}
3. Set due date to date in custom field + 182 days

Its ridiculous but it's unlikely to ever get sorted.

I notice you have the free version , which means you wont have access to custom fields.   It could be done using the Trello API but it starts to get quite complicated
