Due date as no. of days is not visually helpful

[DickinsonSa]

When I create a future task, it says something like...

Due in 36 days

Without any visual clue as to when the task is due (ie a calendar), perhaps something like this might be more helpful...

Due Friday 28th March 2023 (12 days)

Can this be considered a possible future enhancement please?

Hey @DickinsonSa , sure, you're absolutely right. What do you think about just showing the date when the date is more than - let's say - 7 days in the future?

Hi Patrick,
Sounds good to me.

[DickinsonSa]

Hi Patrick, just had a thought... good idea about only showing the date if the event is > 7 days but, just looking at my tasks and one says...

Due in 4 days

Now, I had to think... today is... (erm Friday) so that'll be due on (thinking again)... Tuesday - yes! And because I've got ocd, I'll double check it in my head.

Can we enhance the message to simply say...

Due on Tuesday

Anything over 7 days leave as you originally said.

Hey @DickinsonSa , sounds like I nice idea :-) in this case I'd say whatever works best and let's try it ;-)
I anyway wanted to make this message shorter and replace the "Due in x days" by a symbol and text, so I would like to try it like that: "->| Monday"
similarly for the start date
"|-> Sunday"

This would just contain the same information but much shorter. I hope it would still be clear with symbols.

Look forward.
