This post is a response to a feature request on our feedback portal.
My team schedules most tasks out months in advance, and I feel like I am losing a lot of time having to scroll through months of the calendar when assigning due dates. While I can type in a date in the field, it does not allow me to select that as a due date. Could there please be a way to type in a due date and select it instead of having to scroll through months of the calendar every time we need a new date?

Hello – the above is great if you are creating a new task, but how do I add start dates on tasks that have already been created?
Hi Erin,
Option 1 – edit a task
Option 2 – use Gantt chart
Option 3 – Tasks List view – select one or multiple Start Dates on the right side panel and drop them to tasks

Sorry, I am not seeing this. I only see “Due Date” — no “Start Date.” Did this change? Or is there an add-on or upgrade or widget I need to install? Thank you!
Hi Drew,
Start Dates are only supported on Freedcamp paid plans – please check our pricing page https://freedcamp.com/pricing – a big table will show all features by a plan.
