Is there a way, thru an automated action or something similar, to automatically set Project task deadlines 2 weeks after the set planned start date located in the project card, three dots, settings, planned date?

Bit Level Code

Yes, you can automate this in Odoo using an Automated Action!

You want an automation that:

Watches the Project Task model.
When a task’s Planned Start Date is set or updated,
It automatically sets the Deadline to 2 weeks (14 days) after the start date.

Here's how you can do it step-by-step:

Go to:
Settings > Technical > Automation > Automated Actions
Create a New Automated Action:
- Name: Set Task Deadlines Based on Project Planned Date
- Model: Project (project.project)
- Trigger: On Update
- Trigger Fields: Planned Date (date_start)
- Action To Do: Execute Python Code

if record.date_start:

for task in record.task_ids:

task.date_deadline = record.date_start + timedelta(days=14)

Important:

This updates all tasks under the project when you change the project's start date.
It will overwrite existing deadlines of tasks — unless you add conditions to skip tasks with already set deadlines (optional — I can show you that if needed).

I hope it will help you. If you need more help, feel free to contact meme at bitlevelcode@gmail.com

Based on Mukesh's wonderful guidance, we were able to get this resolved by doing the following:

In the screenshot you shared, I noticed that you selected "Update the record" in the "Action to Do" field. Please change it to "Execute Python Code" instead.

I'm attaching a screenshot for your reference. Kindly review it and let me know once you've completed the testing.

Also, please update the code with the following:

if record.date_start:
    for task in record.task_ids:
        task.write({'date_deadline': record.date_start + datetime.timedelta(days=14)})
