When adding a Task to a Matter, either individually, or by assigning a Task List, the due date of each Task can be set in relation to other Tasks that have already been created. If you change the due date of a Task that other Tasks are dependent on, the due dates of all dependent Tasks will update automatically.
Due Date Dependencies for Individual Tasks
The due date for this Task will default to today's date. Click in the date field to select a different date.
Once you have added more Tasks to the Matter, you can set the due date of this Task in relation to others by clicking the "Edit" quick link.
When Adding a Task to a Matter with Existing Tasks, choose "Relative Due Date".
