Adding to the chorus of people requesting this feature.
Example use case: my team works on several iterative tasks. Itās important for us to be able to establish 1) a final due date, and 2) date for next update/status check.
This could be done with subtasks but, frankly, that workflow creates an enormous number of extra subtasks which complicate other functionality (like finding/setting dependencies).

Would also like this, we track two dates, task completion date and release date would like to see this on the main, default view for the project.

Wow. Itās hard to believe that this still hasnāt been implemented. Such an important and helpful feature and with SO many people asking about it, how has this not been prioritized yet? Iām definitely upvoting this as our company needs it as well, but also Iām disappointed that Asana hasnāt prioritized customer feedback like this. Kind of disconcerting.

I just signed up for the paid trial, explicitly because I need date custom fieldsā¦ and could not believe this isnāt possible. 
Iāll vote, but I see this has been asked for since 2017ā¦ Iāll cancel before the trial expires.

It seems crazy that a project management system wonāt allow the addition of date fields. Tracking dates is fundamental to project management and keeping things on time and moving forward. The fact that it has been requested by users since 2017 should show that. Itās unbelievable that it is still isnāt unavailable.

Agree! Multiple dates are needed for a variety of project reasons. My primary use case currently is I need to track a due date for marketing plans to promote an event on a specific date. I want both due date and event date to be fields I can use.

When is there going to be greater flexibility around date fields?.. We use two different dates for tracking task progression. Due date is not helpful for either. Thanks.

What is the hold up on this? It is such a fundamental feature and Iām limping along with bandaids until this is added. How many customers have you lost over the years because you canāt add a simple date field?

Much needed field type. āQA due Dateā for example is a field that would really help us.
Also, one should be able to see those fields in the Timeline tab for tracking

Agree with many of the users above. Itās ridiculous that we donāt have this capability
i want timeline with custom estimates with hours
Asana,
- Is this on your roadmap? Yes or No?
- Have you scheduled it? Especially since itās been requested for the past 3+ years.
- If it has been scheduled, when can we expect it?
Generally speaking, greater insight in your plans and added transparency with your customers would be great.
Thanks

This is a basic feature to offer in any such product (task management tool). I can not comprehend the reason specified by the product team for their inability to give us a custom date/timeline field. Just provide the feature and create awareness for the users that extensive usage of this type of field can slow down the performance of their application, but let users start using this type. This way, you can track the different use-cases that users are using this data type and you can optimize your engine on the backend effectively.
