Lack of automatic due date calculation based on duration and dependencies
Merchants are frustrated that Asana cannot automatically calculate due dates based on a start date and task duration. The absence of automatic date shifting for dependent tasks forces users to manually recalculate entire project plans when a single date changes.

Can Asana please add the ability to add in durations that automatically calculate due date based on duration + start date. Along with this all the dependency dates should automatically shift based on their blocked by.
Can I really not have asana calculate when my project will be finished based on a project start date and estimated durations for each task? Seriously, this is project management 101.
It takes me 3 times as long now go and manually do all of this and it isn’t feasible to pay for a third-party software.
