Due dates

Due dates can be used in issues to keep track of deadlines and make sure features are shipped on time. Users need at least the Reporter role to be able to edit the due date. All users with permission to view the issue can view the due date.

Setting a due date

When creating an issue, select the Due date field to make a calendar appear for choosing the date. To remove the date, select the date text and delete it. The date is related to the server’s time zone, not the time zone of the user setting the due date.

You can also set a due date by using the issue sidebar. Expand the sidebar and select Edit to pick a due date or remove the existing one. Changes are saved immediately.

The last way to set a due date is by using quick actions, directly in an issue’s description or comment:

  • /due <date>: set due date. Examples of valid <date> include in 2 days, this Friday, and December 31st.
  • /remove_due_date: remove due date.
