Set start dates and due dates on tasks and learn how to remap them.

Start dates and due dates allow you to create a clear timeframe for tasks to begin and end.

If you plan on adding due dates for subtasks, consider remapping subtask due dates. This preserves the relative position of your subtask due dates when you create tasks from a template.

Start and due dates set without a specific time default to 4 am local time.

Add start and due dates

You can add dates in List view, Board view, and Task view.

List view

Click the calendar shown in the Start Date and Due Date columns to add dates to tasks. Make sure you've enabled these columns by clicking the plus sign above your tasks and selecting from the dropdown menu.

Board view

Hover over a task in Board view and click the calendar icon to add dates.

Task view

In the upper-left of your task, click the Dates field to add start and due dates.

Note that when adding a start or due date, you can also specify a time! For example, just type in "Today at 5 pm" to set a time-specific start or due date.

Remap dates in templates

If any tasks in your Space, Folder, or List templates have start and due dates, those dates can be saved when you create a template.

When you use the template, you can use the original Start and Due Dates or update them to a different date by remapping them.

Instead of manually updating every task, all your tasks will be updated when the template is applied.
