Set a task's due date

Single (one-time) tasks use a simple calendar-based due date. For recurring tasks, the due date is part of the recurrence pattern itself — refer to the recurring tasks guide for monthly, quarterly, and annual due-date rules.

• Any team member with permission to create or edit tasks.

1. Create a new task or open an existing one.
2. Click the Due date field.
3. Select a date from the calendar (or type the date manually).
4. Optionally add a specific time for the deadline.
5. Save the task.

For recurring tasks, the due date depends on the recurrence type (monthly, quarterly, weekly, yearly) and is configured alongside the recurrence pattern. Specific date vs. plus-days calculations, weekend/holiday handling, and recurrence end dates are all covered in How to set up and manage recurring tasks.

Confirm you have edit permission on the task. If the task is assigned to a project that has been archived or cancelled, the due date may be locked.

The task appears on its start date, not its due date. Open the dashboard date filter and ensure the range covers the task’s start date.

If the task is single (non-recurring), simply edit the Due date field. For multiple tasks at once, see How to postpone tasks.
