How can you set the start date for a new task? Found default for due date in the General settings but not for start. Are these hidden elsewhere or just not 'setable'

Hi sytone,
There's not a default start date setting like there is for due date, but you can add it with Smart Add, for example the following task:
Complete report to Bob ~today ^friday !1 #Work
which would start today and be due Friday, with priority 1 in your list named "Work".
You can see more about Smart Add in our help pages.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, using that already just wanted to see if I could reduce the repetitive entry of start today for all tasks.
