**Feature request: **
When automatically creating a board (from an automation in status column) from a template board, it would be great to have the timeline column populated with the date when the board is created.
This would be especially useful, when it is used with a duration column, and when implementation or integration dates are standard.

Hi Emma @eperennes - this is definitely doable using the following recipe:
**When an item is created, **
set smart timeline start to today.
You can also use this recipe alongside it:
**When the smart timeline is updated, **
calculate and update the duration.
