Esper automatically assigns due dates to each task in a workflow based on the configured standard workflow timeline. Following the creation of a rulemaking, there are several scenarios in which the original due dates associated with a task will need to be changed. You can change due dates on a single-task basis with options to shift task dates for all subsequent tasks or the whole project.
