Setting Task Start Date and Due Date

To set the start and due date for a task, from the Task Browser, right-click the task and select a date from the Set start date and Set due date options in the context menu. You can also set a task as recurring. See Using Recurring/Repeating Task for more information.

You can also quickly set a task's start date to tomorrow by clicking the Start Tomorrow button in the main Headerbar. Click the down arrow next to the Start Tomorrow button to select a different start date.

Set Dates From Task Browser

To set the start and due date for a task that is already opened, click the Starts on and Due on fields and use the calendar.

Set Dates While Task is Open

For both of these fields, you can use GTG's natural date parsing syntax to set dates in a variety of formats. Dates can be literal (for example, "2020-04-20") or "fuzzy" (for example, "someday"). See Using the Date and Keyword Parsing Syntax for details.
