Custom field dates and calendar

Phillip Romeril

I am trying to get multiple dates entered on one card to show up in my calendar.

I have enabled the Custom Fields powerup and I have added a date custom field to my cards but any date entered here does not show up on my calendar. It is still only showing the Due Date on the calendar.

I have tried enabling and using Planyway powerup calendar but still no luck.

Is it possible to have Custom Field dates show up in the calendar?

Hi Phillip, no, custom fields calendar dates do not show up on the calendar, only the due date of the card.

@Katrin Anger Is there a way to put in functionality requests with the Trello team? This functionality to be able to see custom field dates in a calendar view is a critical missing piece for us.

Jennie_Malmberg

It's the same for us, a critical missing piece. So is it possible with functionality requests? @Katrin Anger

Katie Buckwalter

My team would also like to request this missing functionality. @Katrin Anger

This is indeed super annoying. In the interim, a janky workaround is to add a checklist item and assign that a due date. That shows up on the calendar view.

It would also be helpful if all due dates would sync with your Outlook calendar as well, including checklist items (which is not currently the case).

Seems like this is unchanged from months ago, but adding my support to this request. Seems like a pretty big omission.

Trello just did an update with a calendar view of your boards (there’s also a map view, and timeline). When I add a checklist to my card and assign due dates to checklist items, they show up on the calendar view. I haven’t tried to sync this with my email calendar yet, but I keep trello open throughout the day and can see upcoming due dates for my to-do items in the calendar view. Hope this helps!

I found a way to add multiple due dates to your calendar!! Add a checklist with the list of due dates, then assign a due date to the task. It shows up on the calendar view of the board (top left, click "Board" dropdown, select calendar) then you can sync the Trello calendar to your personal calendar.

Hope this helps!

Start and Due dates are useless for us. Each job (card) needs to be able to have many dates showing on the calendar. Add this functionality please.

Morten R. Rothmann

To automate the "janky workaround", I have created a rule for each custom field (e.g. "X") as follows:

When custom field "X" is set to a date, add item "X" to checklist "Checklist", and set the item due on the date in the custom field "X"

This skips the manual step of creating a checklist, adding the item and date, but just copies in whatever is set for the custom field.

They have time to redo the UI like 4 times, but no time for this. They don't care about us.

Another team needing multiple dates to show up and to be able to customize better the reminders... like Google calendar, weeks, months prior to the deadline. Reminders with notes/titles would be amazing.

Indeed, besides just being displayed on the front of the card, these automation hacks seem to be the only thing custom date fields are actually useful for.

I need two dates and to differentiate between them in calendar view, Customer picks up and Pick up from customer. There is no difference between Start date and Due date in calendar view so it is useless to me. Strange obsticle.

I've built a calendar power-up for Trello that solves this problem!

You can click here to read more and try it: Calendar Power-Up Pro

It lets you view cards, checklist items, and custom field items in a calendar view across all the boards in your workspace. Think of it like an improved version of the workspace calendar view. Feedback is welcome
