This is such a great idea. This would be so useful for users that are looking to automate the upkeep of theri contacts in large databases. I just spoke to someone who was looking to use a workflow to update a contacts custom proprety for “Projected Close Date” and they wanted it to be 6 years after another date property. Currently in the tool the only way to really do this for large numbers of contacts is to have a speadsheet and bulk update in Excel and then import back into HubSpot, which can certain be an inconvenience. It would be so much easier to just set up a workflow and not have to periodically update it for each and every record. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t/more-workflow-options-for-date-properties/8047)._
