I've done some research, so I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. I have a project with a hard completion date. I would like to have any subtask scheduled backward from the completion date. Can that be done in Smartsheet?

I have a number of automation that send notification emails to clients. These are automations that have worked successfully for years, and suddenly they stop.
