Set the due date to a specific time in the date selected

Question

Hi everyone,

We have a standard delivery time for our tickets/cards, but when a user sets a due date in Trello, the time is automatically set to the current time by default.

I'd like to configure Trello so that when a due date is set, the time is automatically set to 5:00 PM by default.

I’ve been exploring Butler for an automation like:
"When a due date is set on a card, keep the same date but set the time to 5:00 PM." However, I haven’t figured out how to do this.

Any suggestions? We’re on the Premium plan.

Hi, Alejandro!

There's a feature request that would be pretty helpful for your issue, if you want to vote for it: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-413

If you're looking for an automation solution, I recommend checking the Automation Variables and Arithmetic and Formatting in Date Variables articles, as both seem right up your alley.

Hopefully that helps!
