New Home My Tasks - Display Time When Task is Due to Start and End

Description - In My Tasks, the tasks do not display the timestamp when a task is due to start and end.

Why is this feature important to you - Our teams work by the hour and have tasks that are due throughout the day. Rarely, we have tasks that last the full business day. My concern is that users will not use the Home and will rely on reports with this not being visible to them as it is not clear what tasks need to be completed first for the day.

How would you like the feature to work - Add the start and end date timestamps to be visible.

Current Behaviour - Does not exist

Our team had submitted feedback on this multiple times earlier this year regarding the need for timestamps.  With the sunsetting of the legacy home screen in October there is renewed interest, specifically from our creative department, to address this issue.  Please keep us updated on if this enhancement is possible.

Yep! Count Nationwide in as well for another company that really depends on timestamp for creatives. I can confirm that Skye's suggestion doesn't quite get it done either as it displays the hour in n24 hour clock format. It still could work, but not ideal.

@BrandonNW  (and possibly @Kiersten_K  ??) I just want to clarify that I only gave out that previous calculation as an example and a starting point. Please don't take any calculation I have posted as your solution. This particular one is not something you would choose to use as-is, for the specific reasons you mentioned. Here is another sample to show you what can be accomplished:

 

CONCAT(CASE(HOUR({plannedCompletionDate}),"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12"),":",MINUTE({plannedCompletionDate}))
 
As you can see, you can use the "case" function to replace any occurrence of "more than 12" with the routine 12h time instead of 24h time. You can similarly use this for replacing the minutes up to 60 -- which since I don't want to type numbers from 1 to 60, I will leave as an exercise for someone else. Similarly, you can put into your calculation that if the hours are more than 11, to put in a "PM" and if they are less than 11, to put in an "AM". I'll leave that as an exercise for someone else as well.
 
These suggestions are potentially a great thing to test AI on, for those who are training chatGPT or workfront AI to do their bidding!

@skyehansen - You're a genius. I had no idea that you could do that to convert the hours to be user friendly. I will be adding this to my list to revisit. Thanks as always for your insights!
