[Status: Not Planned] Display Start Date

Hi Riady, thanks for posting this idea on the Community! Would you like to see both the start and end date at the same time, or be able to choose between them and display just one?

Hi Anastasia,

I don't mind either, but being able to choose start date or end date (or even in the future, custom field date) may make the display as the list much more simple.

Regards,

Riady Santoso

Riady, thank you for following up and letting me know! :)

Feels like a huge handicap without both start/due date sortable columns in the same main task list.

Usually we just access our main task list with the start date as default sorted view, and as a secondary view I will double check deadlines weekly to make sure time allotments are workable. So there is a back and forth on the same list without having to go to different views, reports, etc.

By just having deadlines showing, it always feels like I am behind. Not intuitive without start date column next to it. 

Glad to see that others are interested in this feature!

Ideally there would be an option in our individual settings to display the date range in the list view, in addition to the ability to sort the list by start date or end date.

Thanks!

I would like to bring this idea back to the top and add one more piece. I would like My Work and Dashboards to reflect the start date. If a task has a time frame, it doesn't show as due until the end date but really I am due to start work on it now.

Start dates listed on the project report would be helpful see both when a project is starting and ending when sorted by an owner to be able to understand quickly where the is capacity in project managers/owners.

My team could really use this feature as well. Often I feel like they only see their due dates --- and often overlook how much time was allotted and leave a task to do on the final day/days not realizing they should have started it sooner... have a start and stop time would be great. 

I have requested this feature in many different formats. It seems so simple and so obvious. Please Wrike add this!

An updates from Wrike?

Aiden Guinnip Nothing on this ticket...

But there was a response on my ticket:.

There is another ticket here as well that has no responses

Hopefully we are not too spread out on this to get them to take notice :(

Hi everyone, thank you for all of your feedback here! It's been passed on to the Product team.

There are currently no plans to implement this suggestion on the short-term roadmap. As soon as I have an update on this, I'll let you know.

@... Bummer. Thanks for the update. 

I have been able to solve this using Airtable. It has way more flexibility and syncs better with other tools. I have been a Wrike fan since 2013, but not addressing simple things like this has me looking to other solutions for sure. 

Hi Justin Fortier, I understand that this is disappointing. If there are any developments or changes, I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Thank you for the feedback, it's been passed on to the Product team. If you have any other questions / feedback, let me know.

Hello Hugh!

I'm new to this thread but also really need to see start dates. As it stands the work-arounds I've created as an alternative to easily viewing start dates are cumbersome at best.

Can you tell us what we as a community can do to move this request along? Is there a petition we can gather signatures for? It seems like such a waste for a basic request to not make any progress in 3 years...

Keep me posted! 

Best,

Anna

Hi Anna Bihari! Welcome to the Community, and thank you for your feedback.

The Product team references the feedback they receive from the Community, and the popularity of a suggestion. You can read more about the process we use in this post.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know.

Hugh Y Perhaps you could consolidate all of those threads and show that there is actually a demand for this?

Sure, Justin Fortier, we do that internally, but unfortunately, we can't currently do that on the Community.

Another vote for being able to see start dates in dashboards! Seeing the full date range & not just the end date would be very useful. 

Sara McDaniel Yes!! Another believer. We can make this happen. Get all of your team to upvote!

Lisa You see that? There is a ground swell starting. The people need this feature. Take the message up the chain. 

Definitely, Justin Fortier, I'm passing it on to the team!

Hi there! I'd like to echo Joey and Elizabeth's comments above. It would be very beneficial to my team to be able to view the date range of a task in the list view as well as their dashboards to see the total timeframe a task should be worked on instead of just the due date. We experience a lot of confusion around when something should be worked on and what should be prioritized based on how many days we have to work on a task with only the due date visible. 

Hi Allie Zoranski, welcome to the Community 👋🏻

Thank you for your feedback! I encourage members who have liked your comment to also upvote the original (first) post. Here is a useful article explaining what happens after we receive Product feedback 🖊

Hello! I've literally been asking for this since the beginning of 2017. I agree with others that it seems like a really simple update that shouldn't take so long to implement. How about this -- I'm not going to continue as a Wrike advocate to potential new clients until this is implemented 😆

Just upvoted the original comment as suggested but would really love to see some good news on this as a possible feature soon!

Thanks a lot for supporting and upvoting this idea Brynne Roberts, Anna Bihari! I'm passing your feedback to our Product team. The number of votes helps the team understand how popular the suggestion is. Once it gets to 60 upvotes, it will receive a Product status. Here's more detail on that, but please let me know if you have any questions!

Justin Fortier and Anna Bihari -- looks like you are both big advocates of this. Have you already asked your teams to upvote? I just did on my side. Knowing we need to get to 60, hoping we can get there between our 3 teams 🤞

Brynne Roberts I did! But the problem is that there are three tickets for this same issue.

And the wrike support team doesn't seem to want to consolidate them. Honestly, we left Wrike after 7 years because of this and other issues. They don't seem to care any more about the small/mid market after the acquisition.

You should check out Clickup. It's got this feature and then some!

I'm sorry to hear that you've left, Justin Fortier.

Unfortunately, we can't merge threads on the Community, but we do track separate threads and pass on the feedback regularly to the Product team.
