Re: Fwd: Setting due date of tasks

 

Let's avoid using a pop-up. It interrupts the work being done.

Silently changing the start date to due date cause some issues, but
until we find another mean to specify them, it's the best we've got
with the widgets we have. At least it keeps the data consistent, and
the result is actually better than "starting something after it's
due".
