Why is it that setting a specific due time on a task doesn’t initiate any kind of reminder or notification?

This is a huge hole and requires users to use a secondary app or set a calendar event.

Hi @Brian_Pavlovich,

I agree this could be a useful option, especially on mobile.

One workaround would be to set a rule up in the project or MyTasks that says **When** Due date is approaching (x amount of minutes or hours before)\> **Check if** task is marked incomplete \> **Do this** A. send email or B. add reminder comment.

Hi @Brian_Pavlovich  
I have made your post a product feedback so you and other can upvote it.  
I marked @Jeremy_Long comment as a solution for visibility only as a work around.

This seems to activate the rule for _all_ tasks, not just ones with specific deadline times (rather than specific deadline dates).

Hook it up with google calendar or outlook for time specific reminders.

Yes please! Such a big missing feature.

This should absolutely be a thing! The workaround is fine, but this is really basic for project management.
