Automatically set start date to date created?

[Charles Myers]

Is it possible to have new tasks automatically set their start date to the date that they are created?

Hello Charles,

That's not currently possible, as new items always default to their parent's dates and context. However, it's been requested by a few of us. I took it a step further and have proposed that it should be possible to select whether start and due dates and contexts get set to blank, the current date, or inherit from their parent or nearest sibling. I'll add your vote to the list, in the beta testers' forum.

Here's the previous thread in which people were requesting these options:
