Disable Time Portion of due dates (Projects and Tasks)

[#1]

We don't worry about the time of due dates. We've always looked at end of the day as the deadline. Yes, sometimes we have to stay late to get it done on time. Now we have Workfront (in our 4th month) and the planned completion date has a time portion, which has cause some issues for us.

1. Tracking On Time delivery, even 3 minutes past is considered late. We only worry about it going out on the date it was requested due. (We've worked around this with a custom field on a report, using the "cleartime" function, to get accurate reporting for our needs)
2. We have two teams, one in Minnesota and one in Chile. We have a lot of issues with tasks and time off sliding up or down a day on the schedule because of the time zone difference. Makes for a scheduling nightmare! (we can work around this by setting every project and task due date to be ie. 5pm, but that's yet another tiny detail for our PM's to have to not forget)

We'd rather not have to work around these issues. Could there be a global setting to "clear time" on all projects, tasks and issues?

I agree. We have run into issues with this as well. We are not a "time" driven organization and it is frustrating to have to deal with that, especially when it shows a task as late only because of the "time" component.

I agree too!

Agreed! 10,000 up votes!

Yes, this is very frustrating as we have office across three US time zones and it is throwing all of our schedules off when it changes individual tasks to their time zone. Because of this feature none of our schedules are accurate and take a lot of time to manually manipulate to try to get it so tasks are due on the correct date. This is very frustrating for our organization and is definitely something that should be able to be turned off.

Please look at the possibility of making this configurable on the layout templates since date+time is important for some groups and other groups only need date, not time.

[#7]

We should also be able to add/remove groupings from the left side of the Home screen beyond checking or unchecking the tick boxes from the dropdown.

Please and thank you.

Same here. We don't schedule with our teams based on time of day. We assume EOD is the time it's due so it would be nice to turn it off. It's even more prevalent with the the Home set up. A lot of users have been asking why I give them a time to complete a task by.

Our organization actually uses the time portion so i would not want it removed. I do like the suggestion to offer the inclusion of Time through the Layout Templates. Each of us should be able to configure our Tasks & Projects to include or exclude time as a data point.

[#10]

100% on board with removing/hiding the time portion... another issue is that we need to create a backlog of tasks that doesn't have deadlines at all. We are using an Agile board to get through a backlog of tasks with our developers and they are constantly getting reminded that tasks are late when they have yet to even be assigned to them yet.

My workaround is to set the deadline for Dec 2019 but this, in itself, is a big pain in the ass.

This is a big problem when working with my international teams. They are on a different time zone. They wakeup to tasks that are due that day but that are already late because they were due at 3:00 AM.

We don't manage tasks to hours so having this amount of detail on due dates is not helpful. It makes tasks show up as late that shouldn't show up as late. This hurts KPIs and is frustrating to my PMs and their teams. I'd love to be able to:

1. Make the time portion of the due date an option to turn on or turn off.
2. Set things up so that a task isn't late until it is 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, etc. past the planned due date.
