How do I disable Trello’s “Add due dates as you write” feature?

MariellaPaulino

Does anyone know how to disable Trello’s “Add due dates as you write” feature?

Whenever I type words like “tomorrow,” “Friday,” or a specific date in a card title, Trello automatically adds a due date to the card. I often include dates as plain text in my task titles, so I’d love to turn this feature off completely.

Is there a setting to disable automatic date recognition globally?

Hi all, Lex here from the Product Management team!

Thank you for the feedback! We are working on making some improvements that should be rolling out soon. These will include:

Not editing the title of the card for you when a due date is added
Moving to a suggestion user experience where you will have to accept the suggestion in order for the due date to be added during card creation. This will make the experience much more non-intrusive and allow you to create cards just like you did before.
Improving the quality of the suggestions. Right now it is a bit sensitive to what words it detects as dates in your card title.

Also note, you can turn off this feature all together if you would like by turning off "Suggestions" in your profile settings.

Hey @MariellaPaulino ,

There's a feature request for this: TRELLO-1826: Ability to Disable Due Date Suggestion when creating a card

In the workaround section, they've stated this:

Current Workarounds

Click the X to dismiss the suggestion in card composer mode.

Not sure if there's any other workaround you could use here 🫤

Cheers,

Hi @MariellaPaulino , Trello has no built-in feature that reads plain text in a card title and turns it into a due date, that idea is still an open feature request and hasn't shipped.

Check the board menu, Automation, Rules, for something shaped like "when a card name is added containing a date, set the due date". That's the documented workaround people configure to get exactly this behaviour, and it's the most likely cause here.
If no such rule turns up, check Workspace settings, Atlassian Intelligence. AI ships on by default on Standard and Premium Workspaces and can rewrite card content, it isn't officially scoped to due dates in titles, but it's worth ruling out too.

Either way it's a board or workspace setting, not a personal preference toggle.

I am experiencing the same "feature," and find it aggravating that I cannot write out my cards and hit enter without having to either mouse-click the X to dismiss or go back into the card to remove errant due dates that are not due dates at all. This should be an optional feature, as in, you should have to opt-in to the feature, not opt-out because your workflow is being derailed by something you didn't ask for.

Hi @Germán Morales

I'm afraid you're wrong there!

I came across this discussion from a Google search because I am struggling with this problem in the same way as the original poster.

If I create a card called something like "Check the agenda for tomorrow's meeting" then Trello will automatically remove the words "for tomorrow's" from the sentence, so the card reads "Check the agenda meeting" and it will set the due date as tomorrow's date.

It's extremely frustrating!!

In this example, the task needed to be done today, so Trello has automatically edited a perfectly functional card title to create a nonsensical title with the incorrect due date.

This automation causes many more problems than it solves.

This is a bad feature. It adds dates when I don't want them and when I want them it gets them wrong. I don't want to type a full AI prompt into my card title either to improve its quality.

Please add a way to turn it off.

Agreed - this is super annoying, in particular because I have a lot of tasks where I am tracking setting up meetings. Every time I put a date in the card title, Trello makes it the due date.

Agree with @Zari Morehouse

Sounds like a great approach - thanks, Alexandros!
