How to update task start date when project start date changes?

How to update task start date when project start date changes?

Hi there,

When the start date of a project changes, it's important to update the start dates of the tasks associated with that project to reflect the new timeline. 

Is there a way to shift the start date of all project tasks when the start date of a project changes.  

Ive been trying to create a custom function for this but without any success.
Tried to do this with a Zoho Flow but fetching task lists and task in flow is not really workable solution. 

Any help will be very much appreciated.

    • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

      Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
