I don’t know why this is happening, but all fields in a new task are updated according to form submissions, except for the due date??? I have to manually go in and enter the due date once the task is created. Why?? It should be automatic like every other field, shouldn’t it?? Please advise!! ---

> [@lena22](#): > > have to manually go in Hi @lena22 , have you mapped the response to that date question to the due date field? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/b/2/b26dcc22c70e8e5276afbbef7ee0577386704bcc.png) Asana doesn’t assume a date question needs to be the due date of the task, as you could ask a myriad of date questions! Such as, what is the contract date, what is the execution date, what is the request date, what is today’s date… etc 🙂 ---
