I've looked through the manual and poked around the app, and I cannot find a way to assign a due date to a project. Can this be done?

If not, it would be worthwhile to add this feature, with a way to sort projects by the due date. Without it, the only way I can see to get the due date anywhere in the project is to create the final task with a scheduled date. When there are many actions to complete before that final one, it is annoying to keep seeing that final task in my list of actions.

An example of the functionality I am looking for:

As a lawyer, the final task in a project is often the filing of a document with the court or putting it in the mail by a certain date. My project might be "File opposition to Defendant's Motion." If that opposition is due in court on October 1, I'd like to be able to assign that date to the project directly.

Hello Gregmay,

the functionality to add a due date directly to a project is available, but you have to activate it.

1. Go to Tools-> Option -> Misc -> Project:
Activate the option ->"Include due date field"

2. The go to your project and now the due date field appears below the topic field.

Please give a quick response if your problem is solved or if you have further questions.

Best regards,
Benjamin
