Toggle for Absolute Date Display in Task Management

#clickup

ClickUp users express a repetitive issue when dealing with date formats within the system. Their main concern revolves around the display of relative dates such as 'today', 'tomorrow', or 'x days ago' rather than showing the actual static date, e.g., 'Sept 12’ or '2023-09-12'. This causes confusion and inefficiency, particularly when dates are used critically for planning, reporting, or sharing data in professional environments. These ClickUp users, including professionals handling client projects or maintaining clarity in team collaborations, are calling for a more standard date display option to improve clarity and usability.

🗒️ Feature Requests

  • Enhanced Date Customization Options:
    Expand the customizability of date formats beyond the current limitations. Include commonly used formats such as 'DD-MM-YYYY', 'MM-DD-YYYY', and make them applicable globally across the workspace or selected per project or team needs. This would cater to regional preferences and specific industry standards, enhancing the utility of the platform globally.
  • Consistent Date Display across Platforms:
    Ensure that the date format, once selected through the toggle option, is uniformly implemented across all views, exports, and reports within ClickUp. This consistency is key in reducing cognitive load and avoiding the necessity for external aids like calendars or additional software for simple date verification tasks.
  • Toggle Option for Date Display Preferences:
    Implement a settings feature that allows users to toggle between relative date displays (e.g., 'Tomorrow', '5 days ago') and absolute date formats (e.g., '2023-09-12', 'Sept 12'). This option should be user-configurable and accessible within personal or workspace settings, ensuring adaptability to individual or team preferences for various operational contexts.
