Hello, how can I see Tasks showing up on their Start Date instead of only on their Due Date ? Thanks!

Hi @Falcrob, thanks for using GoodTask.

If you use start date by changing date type to Advanced, it can be used to show tasks before it’s due. But it doesn’t replace start date with how due date works. You can check below post for some details. Thanks!
