How to set a due date

eiger3970

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Due Date Field is Missing

Hello, I have created several Business projects and some issues, however there is no option for setting dates?

I read about the permissions thingy, but I'm the administrator and the user already as edit rights.

Hi,

Your user will need Schedule Issue permission as well. This drives who can set the Due Date field.

Also make sure the Due Date field is on the screen used for creating, editing or viewing the issues.

Thanks. What is the path to adjust these settings? I would have expected these settings to be default.

Tibor Hegyi [META-INF]

Open the project's administration page, go to Permissions and check Schedule Issue. You will see who is assigned to this permission. It may be empty or set to some default project roles your users are not member of.

Thank you.

I navigated to JIRA 7.1.2 > Administration > System > SECURITY > Global permissions > nothing there about scheduling or setting due dates?

Please read the docs to understand it: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/managing-project-permissions-185729636.html

I am trying to do the same, and Due Date is actually on the View Screen field list. However, I don't see it unless I click "Edit".

Does anyone know a way to quickly add a task and include a Due Date?

I am having the same problem. I and a team mate have admin rights. We've set the permissions and we checked the due date box. It still isn't showing up. We've probably spent 1 whole person day trying to sort this out and still now luck. This is basic PM requirement. It's absolutely ridiculous that this is not naturally part of the app.

Jim McNeely

I concur. It's ridiculous that this is so difficult.

Why is it this hard to set such a simple feature that hundreds of other project management apps can simply do?

i am also facing the same issue.

not able to figure out even after spending so much time on it

Charles Prior

I have been working on this for an hour, all my settings are correct as per above and I still cannot see a due date on issues. It's ridiculous that Issues don't have a due date by default and shouldn't be this hard. Can someone please provide further info / help?

I don't understand, 2 years ago everyone can created task so easy. Today my team went back to use Atlas, the app walked me through til that point I struggled to create one simple task. There was no due-date field, and when I clicked Create, it asked me to set due-date. How?

Pablo Leone

It's funny... I can add a due date field to a screen and associate the screen to a transition, but I can't set a due date when creating the task. I've walk through all possible screens and nothing...

We're all skilled people, we know scrum, we know development and how to use the internet and even a computer, but we struggle to use Jira!

I would suggest firing the manager that's behind the Jira UI and UX..hire someone else, you'll do all a favor!

any news about this please? Due Date field for tasks?

Same here: everything 'checked': project permissions to schedule issues, visibility, presence on the screen, field configuration. Yet due date it is not visible on the issue details.

Charlie_Fortuno

This is really hard to do... just to add a due date. I'm struggling myself.

Jim McNeely

I got an email today on this that said "your comment has been viewed 36,000 times!!! Jump back in and join the community" I jumped back in to see this is still a live issue. So they want us to post complaints about it, they just don't want to actually do anything about it. Great.

Jim McNeely

As soon as I posted this I got an email that said "Congrats! you earned the Level 2 badge!" Ha ha ha! So I can earn badges by bitching about their convoluted product. Fun times! Let's see if I get a Level 3 badge for this comment.

Charlie_Fortuno

Isn't that pretty sad that 36k people all had an issue just trying to add a due date to a task? It's like having a car without a door handle. This shouldn't happen.

Ok guys, I tried to read this theme but I'm not able to find out what is the real problem here (there are so much answers and no complete description of the problem).

I have fresh installation of Jira 8.3.0 (server) and I can see all the options to create issue with Due date, edit it via "Edit" screen and even inline edit. See screenshots pls:

Can you describe the problem from start so other people can help you?

Mark Cowell

Thanks. What is the path to adjust these settings? I would have expected these settings to be default.
