5 years of people asking seems like there should have been some movement on this request? Are there no plans to fix this issue?
Hi all,
Just an update to let you know we’re looking to implement date custom fields sometime this year. I don’t have more precise information to share just yet, but I will update this thread as soon as I do!

Hi, i don’t understand why i can create custom field with number, text single-select and multi-select but no with “date”. is there an integrator for custom field?
Hello @Giuseppe_Di_Lorenzo currently that is not possible.
I recommend leaving your vote here: DATE - Custom Field Type
And here is a great update by Marie: DATE - Custom Field Type - #293

Hi, new Asana user here. I am also perplexed by the lack of this basic Date field feature. Some explanation for why it doesn’t exist would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you’re going to integrate this feature you better integrate it across the entire platform and connect it to rules and to notifications and everything else. Please just don’t drop this feature in without it connecting or working with anything else like you have with many of your other features.

Would love to hear an update on this! I’ve many PM tools and I’ve had to pass on rolling out Asana multiple times because of this missing feature.
I am once again evaluating an organization’s PM tools, and if this isn’t something that’s going to be added soon, I’ll have to pass on Asana again 
Asana has always operated the same way: the release a first version and then do a follow-up to build on top of the feature. But you can wait for the field to be available everywhere before using it

Allow for a custom column with dates (not currently an option I can see) to try the completion date of a task vs. the initial due date to track tasks that are overdue. Would help to better utilize Timeline as a Gantt chart as well as current wording of “Start Date” and “Due Date” isn’t as helpful.
Hi @Erin_Valentine, while this feature isn’t available at this time, hopefully it’s something our Product team can implement in the future
We do have an existing thread for this feature request in the #productfeedback category so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback.
I’ll keep you posted and let you know if I have any updates

Thank you!!
Hi Asana Community,
My name is Ben, and I work on the product marketing team here at Asana. I’m really excited to announce that the team is actively investigating a solution for a date custom field, and we should have more updates for everyone later this year. All of these comments and feedback are so helpful, and we can’t wait to solve this pain point for you, stay tuned!

Ben, thank you for jumping in here as it’s been five years plus. Is asana too large to do a pre-mortem when releasing features that don’t offer integration fully with the platform?
Or is waiting 5+ years for a critical feature going to be the norm only after hundreds of people have commented and over 10,000 views of a thread are incurred?

I say a lot of similar things in this comment - Keyboard Shortcut to Move a task to a specific section - #9 by Zane_Bartlett
but again, I do just want to say I greatly appreciate whenever I see updates before the feature is released, like this, when possible.
I understand there is a fine line to balance so that customers are not made more upset planning around mentions like this and something happens to the ETA of the feature. I do tend to think Asana is a bit too conservative with what they share about future updates though, but I see communication like this as an attempt and somewhat of an acknowledgement of the frustration seen on these feature requests forums.
Please don’t let people who say this isn’t enough, or still upset by these announcements be proof that they aren’t worth doing! I don’t think y’all should stop here, but I understand being careful in shifting the culture of transparency in development. Again, Thank you for the update!
