If you use the formula column as a due date instead of a date column, what functionality will you be missing?

• A. Automation functionalities are unavailable because formula columns cannot participate in automations.
• B. You can still automate everything with a formula due date.
• C. The due date will not appear in the calendar.
• D. Formula due dates function exactly the same as date columns.

Answer: (B)

Automations in Monday.com react to the value in a column, not strictly to the column being a native date type. If a formula column outputs a valid date, that date can drive automation triggers and actions just like a real date column would. So using a formula to compute the due date doesn’t inherently block automation capabilities—you can still automate based on that computed due date. That’s why this option is the best fit: the automation functionality remains available when the due date comes from a formula.
