I’m looking to sort a project based on a certain date. Any way to add a date format to the custom field?

Impressive hack @Bastien_Siebman !

Testing asana now and it is simply appalling that this has not been addressed… Smartsheet has had this for years… Might have to find a different solution…

I’m organising a complex editorial calendar and need clear dates for each part of the process. Either I need to be able to add four date fields, or be able to customise the generic ‘due date’ field so I can specify which due date that is. Can you advise? I’m paying for premium so really expect more …

Your only solution at the moment is to use a text field as a date field… If you use the YYYY-MM-DD format, sorting alphabetically will sort chronologicaly.

other project management systems make it convenient where in a custom field, you can choose to have a calendar to choose a date, and customize the field name. from the variety of discussions on this, it looks like it’s in demand. hopefully asana can implement this soon.

Did you find a better solution?!?!

@Devin_Egger you are right. I am confident a Date custom field is coming, we have to wait a bit more :hugs:

the lack of a simple date type on a field on a project management tool is baffling… monday has 35 different field types you can choose from. asana has 3.
