Custom Field - Project Level

[Phil_Seeman]

At the moment, no, there’s no date-type custom field. You can add your vote for that here:

DATE - Custom Field Type

What do you think about adding new field type “Date”? I’d like to have “Start Date” and “End Date” for tasks and currently I am using “Text” field for that which does not work well for 2 reasons: Inconsistency - date formats are written differently by team members. 13 April, 13/04, 13 april 2017… Inability to Sort By - text fields are general. That’s why you cannot really “Sort By” those fields. In case of Dates, you could sort tasks by Date. This point actually is linked to first point - cons…

Also, here’s an additional suggestion you might be interested in:

Sort by date... when there is no date field

Here is the trick of the day! Custom fields of type Date don’t exist yet, so usually people use a text field to store some date on a task (that is not the due date). If you want to be able to sort the task list based on that field, make sure to input dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. That way, an alphabetical sort will actually be a chronological order! Pretty cool right?
