Type in a due date instead of scrolling through calendar
My team schedules most tasks out months in advance, and I feel like I am losing a lot of time having to scroll through months of the calendar when assigning due dates. While I can type in a date in the field, it does not allow me to select that as a due date. Could there please be a way to type in a due date and select it instead of having to scroll through months of the calendar every time we need a new date?
As a follow-up, have you given thought to allowing users to update due dates instead of deleting and reassigning dates when schedules change?
Many thanks!!!
Hi Barb,
It is possible – please see my response I created in our blog for you: http://blog.freedcamp.com/2017/03/07/how-to-add-start-and-end-dates-by-typing-dates/
Regarding: “have you given thought to allowing users to update due dates instead of deleting and reassigning dates when schedules change?”
- totally possible via ‘edit task’ or by dragging and dropping new date in Tasks List view to a task – it will replace previously set date.
Cheers,
