How do I remove the time from "Due Date" on a card?

[Kristi Espineira]

I would like the option of an "all day" due date on cards, rather than a specific time. Right now, the time defaults to 12:00 pm - I've tried just removing the time and saving the card, but it just defaults right back. 

Can't find anything about this in Trello help docs or here...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This is really important to me too. I have my Trello due dates shared with my work Outlook calendar, and with the times included with each card, I can't even see the important stuff. I can only see the times on my Outlook calendar, with no information about the item. I actually might have to drop Trello if we can't remove the times, because I simply can't even see the things I am supposed to be doing.

As you can see, I posted this in 2018 and no answer yet from the Atlassian team. :-(

Still no progress in this quite small but important feature I guess, right? Isn't it working at least in pro-version?

[Jeremy DeBarry]

I am late to the party, but this would be great.

[Sierra Eberly]

Is this seriously still not a feature? I can manually remove the time to each card, but that seems rediculous to have to do - is there not an option to add due dates without a time yet?? 

[Trisch Greschner]

@Sierra Eberly "I can manually remove the time to each card"
How are you doing that? This time thing is driving me mental

[Sierra Eberly]

Apparently, I wasn't and can't. When you manually delete the time, it defaults to the time you saved the card. I thought it would keep it blank. 

I'm just astonished that this is still an issue, with so many people complaining about it. Seems like an easy fix? Super annoying!!

Bringing this back up - is there still no way to have a due date without a time? This is pretty basic functionality on various other to-do  apps/services. 

[Parker Ong]

I need this feature too. I have tasks that I need to accomplish within the day but no specific time to complete. I'm looking forward to this enhancement. Thanks!

[Lael]

This sucks. Atlassian, please make the due date without due time available. I need this feature mostly so my sync to Google calendar shows up as all-day events, which is the desired state.

[Jacob Vizcarra]

ETA on this feature?

[Deleted user]

Bringing this back up once again. Is it that hard to remove the time stamp?

[Jim Meyer]

The first request in this thread is from August of 2018. I get the feeling no one is listening. Atlassian? Are you there? Do you pay attention to these threads?

[Kristi Espineira]

I'm pretty sure they don't! I'm the original poster - I get an update every time someone comments here (which is actually pretty often). I even got a badge for being one of Atlassian's "top contributors" due to the all responses to this request, which is pretty hilarious  😆 

Maybe if we keep posting/commenting we'll trigger some attention?

[Arwid Littmarck]

Please add this feature. The time stamps are totally messing up my calendar.

[Margarette Homan]

I recently started using Trello and began adding dates, so easy.  My manager wanted a report on certain dates but without the time stamp... of course I said NP.. this should be easy to format a date w/out time.  

But that does not seem the case.  Perhaps, I missed an update from the Atlassian team on this topic/enhancement request. 

ATLASSIAN Team - when will this feature be completed?  It makes no sense for date to have timestamp.  

Idea: have two different choices: create date w/time stamp and without. 

Look forward to hearing back.

Aww come on guys…just make it a card setting or even a global setting.  Date without the time, in fact, make it default to date only and make the time stamp an additional feature. Selection for those who need it.  You can do this, really, not that hard.  My high school student programmer could write this code. Bring those programmers in and help them see the light….it’s a small ask….let’s do this!!!

[Kristi Espineira]

I agree, it's not that hard. But, five years after posting this question, I seriously doubt that they care enough to make this change. Sad, because it's so simple.

[Kelly Amann]

This is how Asana does it….  You have to actually add the times.  This makes real sense.  I guess we will all need to switch to Asana since Trello staff is so incompetent.

[Kelly Amann]

Hey Atlassian management.  I think your programmers are asleep at home in their pajamas. See, working from home is not always more productive.  Bring them back in to add this feature of removing the time stamp.  Believe you me, the whole world does not set up projects based on a specific time in the day, 3 months from now, but rather the date itself.  Is this product a tiny glorified task list or a robust project management software.  Please decide what you want to be.

[Shazid Rahman]

yeah

Another vote for this feature.  It should be an easy fix!

[Justin Hoover]

I agree. This is a feature that would be very welcome. I spend more time managing the time so it is the end of the day. Kind of annoying.

[Eboni A_ Johnson]

+1 for this feature.  This seems a simple enough feature to implement -- especially since users keep asking for it.  Can you at least tell us WHY you're not considering this idea rather than just ignoring us?

[kespineira]

It's been over two years since I posted this.... would love to see this happen!!!

[Eboni A_ Johnson]

I seriously wonder what the holdup is, and why Atlassian is so unresponsive.

[Paul]

I also strongly encourage making this work. The synched calendar is not much use with a particular time. This limitation is the main thing putting me off using trello more.

[Paul]

Can I just reiterate that this simple - trivial feature - should be implemented ASAP ? Business class is expensive enough to not have such basic features and having me considering using the Python api to strip out these times. 

[vanreyes]

atlassian is really really bad at delivering requested updates, we had once request a feature for bitbucket last 2012 and until now its not yet sorted lol. Anyways, I need this too. 

[imjn]

I need this too! Because when I sync with my calendar, it becomes messed up with the unexpected due time.

[Antonia Caulfield-Kerney]

Another vote for this feature!

[Karsten Müller]

1+ for this. It’s really annoying that there’s no way to use dates without time.

[Rebecca Bryan]

It's baffling to me that in 2023 there isn't just a checkbox for all day/display time. Not even a time dropdown so I have to type in a meaningless time, which is confusing for everyone.

Need to have: Another vote for option of Full Day (no time) Due Date on cards. Nice to have: Start Date --> Due Date, All Day events, so we can see a timeline view in our calendars.

[Duke Kittisiri]

+1 vote

[Jennifer Matotek]

Removing the time is essential - I really want to output my board in excel format and it's such a hot mess to look at with the times included. PLEASE STOP WITH THE TIME. I'M DYING. (not really but like, kind of, inside.)

[Bob Lieberman]

I just started using Trello again after a couple of years. Needed this feature and disappointed by its lack. Came to the community, and that’s when I realized Trello was now owned by Atlassian.

That explains everything!

[Jeremy DeBarry]

Same here - just came back to Trello as I start a new position and discovered this surprising problem on day 1

[Milo BC]

Another vote on this feature from me, really need this so my calendar works as desired. I'm using the Calendar power-up. Is there an ETA? Thanks!
