Subitem timeline auto-creation

Platform discussions monday apps & integrations

Hi,
I have a board with items and a button column that triggers the creation of subitems.

I would like the timeline column of the subitems to be relative and begin on the upcoming Monday (i.e., the next Monday from the current date).

If that’s not possible, I’d like the subitem timeline to start with a +7 day offset from the last subitem within the same parent item.

Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this? Thanks!

Hello! This should be possible through the APIs or utilizing additional platforms like make.com.
There does not seem to be a native way in Monday to support your requirement.
Pls ping me if you would like to discuss this further.

Regards

Hello,
To set the timeline column of subitems to start on the upcoming Monday or with a +7 day offset from the last subitem: take McDVOICE Survey

  1. Upcoming Monday: Use an automation to set the timeline start date to the next Monday. This can be done using custom automation recipes in your project management tool.
  2. +7 Day Offset: Create an automation that sets the subitem timeline to start 7 days after the last subitem’s end date.

Check your tool’s documentation for specific automation setup steps.

Best Regards,
Yopogo

@ryanrunai Our team created an app called templify that allows you to create group, item and subitem templates.

You can set dynamic dates in your templates (based on creation date or for subitems a parent item date column, dependencies, dynamic people assignments and more.
