Completed Due Dates formatting

Will Stocks September 27, 2018

This is possibly a bit of a strange question... but is there a way to make it "obvious" that when a Trello cards "Due Date" is ticked as completed, but it was actually completed past the due date (overdue), that a clearer overview of this can be seen in boards?

At the moment, it's yellow for soon, red for overdue and green for completed. But if I complete something later than it was due, I without digging through multiple card histories I can't really see that all that clearly?

This might just be an edge case... but it's annoyed me for ages as when I see green I think "great, on target!" but actually I was 2 days overdue for whatever reason.

This isn't possible at the moment, but maybe you could use a Label called something like Overdue and add it to the cards that get completed after the due dates.

Ahhh, OK. Because you said "at the moment" does that mean it's on the to-do list? ;)

I've been using labels for overdue, but obviously it involves remembering to do so. Also, it doesn't provide me with a useful metric, such as "Completed X days overdue" without doing some brain work

Ah, no I'm sorry, I said "at the moment" because I know they are constantly working to improve Trello. :)

Hi,

Is this something you might have started working on now?

I see this thread started a year and a half ago. Maybe you've had some more requests related to this? We just started using Trello, and this is a feature we would love to have! I would like to see when a task is actually completed! It quite often happens that some tasks are overdue, or maybe even completed before the due date, but it's not possible to get a quick overview of this in the system. Now, it looks like everything is completed exactly on due date when ticking the completed box. This is not exactly the true story! Please, please do something about this!
