Assistance with Dependencies and Automatic Date Assignment on Project Board Template

Hi!!

We are consulting with an enterprise client who utilizes monday.com for project management. They currently have a comprehensive project template board that leverages dependencies.

Our client’s objective is as follows:

  • They want to use this existing board as a template.
  • When a new board is created from this template, they want to enter a single initial start date (for the first task/item), and upon entry:
    • All subsequent tasks/items should automatically populate their Start Date, End Date, and Timeline based on the predefined dependencies.

Could someone please help us with finding out the below?:

  1. Whether this automation or functionality exists natively within the enterprise plan?
  2. If so, what configuration or settings are needed to activate this automatic cascading effect?
  3. Any known limitations or recommended workarounds if this exact functionality isn’t directly supported?

I’ve attached a screenshot for clarity on the board setup.
