We have two improvements to project templates that are live in your account today. Let's jump in.

Assign to-dos in project templates

One of the top requests we hear is to be able to include people in project templates. At last, you can! When you have projects that repeat often and the same people are involved every time, just add them to the template and they'll be included in the new project.

You can assign to-dos and cards to people or add them to events.

When the project is created, everyone who was included in the template is automatically added to the new project, assigned to tasks and events, and notified. Give it a try in an existing template or create a new one.

Pick a start date when using a template

Project templates have relative dates, so you can schedule an event on the first Thursday or assign a due date for the end of the third week. Those dates in the new project are set relative to the day you create the project, but sometimes you just want to get the project going even though it doesn't start for a few days or weeks.

Now, you can set the project start date when you create it from a template and the relative dates will be based on the day you chose. You can spin up a project without having to time it just right!

We hope these additions increase what you can do with templates and save you a bunch of time.

Thanks for being a customer!
