Currently a task is created with a default of today’s date as due date. Which does not allow users to see upcoming tasks and/or if there was any discrepancies with previous tasks. Should allow the ability to create task sequence and set due dates in bulk

Even more ideal would be if the task’s due date could be set to a flexible custom date. For example, the task’s due date could be a specific date, a property, or a date calculated by adding x and y. There is great potential for improvement in this area, as you can envision.
