Connecting Dates and Timelines?

Hello,
Our team is just starting to transition our project management work onto monday.com - we have Enterprise. We run dozens of projects on behalf of clients each year. Some of these include a number of recurring tasks that happen on weekly, daily, quarterly, monthly, annual basis (etc).

We’ve done some research and identified the best options for recurring tasks are typically 3rd party apps, though we’re also aware of this option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2a2PycSi6A

The problem - all of these require the use of a ā€œdateā€ column type. We are using portfolios to organize our clients, and those require a ā€œtimelineā€ column type as they are project boards and not typical boards. I can’t seem to find a way to make those columns talk to each other in an automated way. Does anyone have a suggested work around? I’d like to be able to automate the timeline column to reflect the date column, even if it means the timeline is only one day. Best case scenario would be something like an automation of ā€œwhen [date] moves, [timeline] moves by the same increment.ā€
