Default start date on tasks
Often when I'm creating a task I want to add only the end date and I find it annoying that the start date doesn't automatically default to today's date. Most of my tasks are being assigned today, so they should just start by default on today and not require that I have to fill in that field every time. Anyway, I would love this update.

We use milestones within our schedules on zoho projects as Key MUST DO tasks and they are always for someone different. The templates only allow you to set this for someone specific meaning that the project owner always has to go through and change these when setting a new project up. This is quite a time killer and I suggest that the Milestone owner is set as part of the set up when the owner is selected from the list.

This can be found indirectly if you already have a task list with "None" as the related milestone, then return a list of task lists for
