Reminders for start date?

I see that reminders are triggered off the due date. Is there a way to trigger a reminder from a start date?

No, reminders can only be set for the Due Date.

You can set a reminder from 15 minutes up to 30 days before due-date. If I have a task that needs to notify me earlier than that, then it can probably be broken into two actions.

Tasks can also be filtered to be hidden before their start date arrives. This way you don't have to see them during your Review, until you start to care after the start date.

I have a repeating task that starts on Monday, is due on Tuesday, with a 1 day early reminder. It doesn't show up on my radar until Monday morning at which point I get the reminder and it's on my task list. Then it dissappears until next Monday when I complete it.

Very nice setup :)
I love being able to hide things until I want to see them with a Start Date, but I wish the Due On modifier would do the same thing.
