Automatic Status Update on Projects When Tasks are Started or All Completed.

First, I'm aware there's a "Completion Mode" for Project Settings that you can set to "Automatic" so that a Project's status changes to Complete when all tasks are done. But unfortunately, by default it is always "Manual" unless you apply a template (which we don't always use since projects vary sometimes)...


It would be wonderful if we can set the default to ALL new projects to always be "Automatic".

And not just upon Completion, but it would be great if a Project's status also automatically updates to "In Progress" as soon as a task on the project is started. I was told be a representative that this feature does not exist at all, so it would be great to have this setting.


This would help so much to keep Projects current, since at the moment Admins have to manually change the project status when team members start on their tasks and they can't always do it immediately.
