Due Date

I like to use the Time line for my production schedule, I would like to see “start dates” versus “Due Dates”, or at least a choice.  Currently if I have a task starting on Monday and its a 3 day task I have to put my Due Date as Wednesday with a Duration of 3 days to have it calculate back to Monday.  When your dealing with many tasks that work together based on this it can be time consuming to “reverse calculate” the time line, thanks.

Good thought jmartin. There is some tweeking that could be done with tasks, many people like to work with deadlines and some with start dates. Thanks for the suggestion.

Start date would be a fantastic addition!
