Hi,

I have tasks that are planned on a given day (eg: onboarding employee X) and not any other day so it's not a "due date" or "to be completed before".

It'd be great to have the ability to add a timestamp on an individual task.

At the moment I have a small CLI script that pulls out tasks from Planka and displays my todo list but I can't differentiate between tasks I can do at any time and task that are to be done on a specific day. Encoding an event for this task in another calendar is double encoding and prone to mistakes and slipping off the radar).

I realize this is not a small change to the UI but it's not a huge one on the data model and backend, right ?

Well actually "due date" does the same as "on a certain day". It all depends on how we display it later. One of the next versions will take something similar into account. Adding the date to this idea could be useful, so I think I will add this too.
Thanks for the suggestion.

For the moment I think I'll be using some informal convention in the task: do X @2021.06.06 and add an option to my script to filter tasks that have @date = today()

This is about tasks in cards, not due date for a given card. But maybe I should dedicate a whole card to such events instead of using tasks in a card.
