Is there no option for "end date"?

unknown

Can you not set an "end date" for a card that is NOT a due date? 

Due date is not the same thing as end date and is not a useful alternative. Wanted to use Trello for event and advertising timelines/planning but no bueno if you can't schedule start and end dates on the calendar and see them in the table.

Hey @[deleted]- welcome to the Community!

We consider the Due Date of a card to be its end date. When you view a card that has both a Start Date and a Due Date on the Calendar View, it'll span from the Start Date to the Due Date.

If you need to create a specific End Date, you can use a Custom Field to do this.

To be clear though:

• The Calendar View is a Premium and above feature
• Custom Fields is a Standard and above feature

If you want to test these capabilities out, I recommend starting a 14 day free trial of Premium at https://trello.com/free-trial
