Option to show real dates instead of relative dates like "tomorrow" | Consistent due date display

Raiden Frunk

The option to switch date displays to exact dates. So instead of "1 day ago" it will display the date you set.

It would really help to have a consistent dating format. ClickUp helps to organize and yet this looks so disorganized.

It serves no purpose to have a "relevant date" as opposed to the actual date. I wholeheartedly agree that actual dates would be preferable. I know this is pretty commonplace in a lot of modern UI design etc., but it really serves no purpose if efficiency and accuracy are to be valued. Software such as this is intended to be used by professionals and individuals alike who want accurate and seamless organization; the design and even small details such as this should be included in that.

Agree with all these comments. I would love to be able to choose relative dates or exact dates by space.

Melody Liu

I'd really prefer having the actual date, it's extremely inconsistent seeing different wording and numbers. Please add this!!

Hello. Please fix this to be able to have only one format.

Here's an example in one of my columns... I have FOUR different display for 4 different subtasks. Pretty annoying.

May be a few development but a lot of satisfaction for 4 million users.

Until this is implemented, this Google Sheets formula can help convert a relative date to an absolute date. The two cells the formula references are:

$A$1:
Date the data was copied
A2:
Date from ClickUp

=IF(A2<>"",IF(ISNUMBER(A2),A2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" days ago",A2)),$A$1-LEFT(A2),SWITCH(A2,"Yesterday",$A$1-1,"Today",$A$1,"Tomorrow",$A$1+1,WORKDAY.INTL($A$1,1,MID("1111110111111",MOD(8-MATCH(A2,ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(SEQUENCE(7),"dddd")),0),7)+1,7))))),)

For Excel, just remove the ARRAYFORMULA function.

This is something I cobbled together quickly, so if anyone has a shorter formula, I'd love to see it.

Please please please could this be implemented? It adds a lot of friction to have to figure out the date each time. It's fine for todos but when using it more as a database, the actual date would make life a lot easier.

Jennifer Blackman

Please allow the option for actual dates, not words
