Due dates

Use due dates in work items to track deadlines, and make sure features are shipped on time.

Due dates are supported in:

• Issues
• Epics
• Tasks
• Objectives and key results
• Incidents

The day before an open item is due, an email is sent to all participants. Like the due date, the “day before the due date” is determined by the server’s time zone.

Due dates also appear in your to-do items.

View issues with due dates

You can see issues with their due dates on the Issues page. If an issue contains a due date, it is shown below the issue title:

Issue dates in the past are shown with a red icon ( ).

To view and sort issues containing due dates in your project:

1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your project.
2. Select Plan > Issues.
3. To sort by due date, select the current sort method, then select Due date.
4. Optional. To reverse the sort order, select Sort direction ( ).

Set a due date for an issue

All users with permission to view the issue can view its due date.

When creating an issue

If you have at least the Planner role, when creating an issue, select Due date to show a calendar. This date uses the server’s time zone, not the current user’s time zone.

To remove the date, select the date text, then delete the text.

Prerequisites:

4. Select your desired date, then select again, outside the calendar, to save your changes.

To set a due date from a quick action in an issue’s description or comment:

Issues with due dates can also be exported as an iCalendar feed. The URL of the feed can be added to calendar applications.

2. On the right, from the Actions ( ) dropdown list, select Subscribe to calendar to display the .ics file.

3. Copy the full link to the page (including the full query string) and use it in your preferred calendar application.
