Disable Time Portion of due dates (Projects and Tasks)

Agree. The time component is not important to us. On a report I want to sort the issues we need to work on by due date and then by priority. Since the due dates are due at different times of day depending on when they were submitted the priority sort does nothing unless I change all of the due date times, which is a waste of time. A normal priority issue due today is not more important than a high priority issue due on the same day. Not only does the time not matter to us, it's a problem with prioritization of work

I agree with removing times. The specific times create extra work on hot projects assigned day-of that have multiple tasks due that day.

Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.

I would like to be able to use dates only sometimes as well, but the time is important for planned midday handoffs. I agree that timezone issues have been a problem when we have offshore workers... but the best solve I have found for that is to set a due date for an offshore worker to 8am the next day our local time - they effectively work on it "overnight" and it's just due when we are back online locally.

On the other hand, I really can't stand having to set times for every task when creating templates. I would like to see a default setting that you only have to override when needed... for example, a task with a "start" type contstraint should always have a start time of 8am... and a task with a "finish" type constraint should always have a completion time of 5pm. (The times being whatever the planner chooses.) This could be a good middle ground, especially if the planner can just choose 12am for all times and be done with it.

This issue is compounded by the editable Planned Completion date field in the top right of the Project pages. When edited this changes the due date and defaults to 12AM local time. This negatively impacts all tasks on the project as it resets them to 12AM local time as well. Users in different time zones then see previous dates for their due tasks.

Please either implement a way to default the time when changing this field and/or give the option to turn off time due time.

This is a big problem when working with my international teams. They are on a different time zone. They wakeup to tasks that are due that day but that are already late because they were due at 3:00 AM.

We don't manage tasks to hours so having this amount of detail on due dates is not helpful. It makes tasks show up as late that shouldn't show up as late. This hurts KPIs and is frustrating to my PMs and their teams. I'd love to be able to:

1. Make the time portion of the due date an option to turn on or turn off.
2. Set things up so that a task isn't late until it is 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, etc. past the planned due date.

100% on board with removing/hiding the time portion... another issue is that we need to create a backlog of tasks that doesn't have deadlines at all. We are using an Agile board to get through a backlog of tasks with our developers and they are constantly getting reminded that tasks are late when they have yet to even be assigned to them yet.

My workaround is to set the deadline for Dec 2019 but this, in itself, is a big pain in the ass.

Our organization actually uses the time portion so i would not want it removed. I do like the suggestion to offer the inclusion of Time through the Layout Templates. Each of us should be able to configure our Tasks & Projects to include or exclude time as a data point.

Same here. We don't schedule with our teams based on time of day. We assume EOD is the time it's due so it would be nice to turn it off. It's even more prevalent with the the Home set up. A lot of users have been asking why I give them a time to complete a task by.

We should also be able to add/remove groupings from the left side of the Home screen beyond checking or unchecking the tick boxes from the dropdown.

Please and thank you.
