    The reason that option is there is because it is a Task list template and you probably migrated or setup the new list in SPO as a modern custom list type.

    In SPO, you create an App instead of a list and choose Tasks app and this will replicate that option in the list advanced settings from the list template it uses will activate that option. The negative of this route is it's still in the old Classic look since Task list templates haven't been converted to Modern yet.

    PowerAutomate flows don't really have a clean way to monitor column changes just yet, but it is possible using previous versions and you could technically do it with custom modern lists by creating a flow to do it.

    Here is the article that explains it, it's a lot, but it's possible.

    Either one of these solutions should hopefully help you out.
